I have done two in the five years I was working in Oshakati (4000 deliveries per year) and Windhoek (7000). One for a big myoma in the lower segment, the other for a compund presentation, both in patients who had consented to Tubal Ligations. In the 12 years of my practice (+- 800 C/S) I have had maybe 5 compound presentations, most of which could be delivered through a Lower Segment-"J" incision. I did an up-and-down skin incision on those of course. > They should be so rare as to warrant calling all the students and > residents into theatre when one is done as it may be the only one > they'll ever see! Right, we have called in the Medical Officers too in order to show them how to suture the uterus. el Next message: guy: "Re: luteal phase defects" Previous message: Rafael Haciski MD: "Re: luteal phase defects" In reply to: Eryl & Steve Raymond: "Re: Clasical C/S" Next in thread: Paul Prior MD: "Re: Clasical C/S"

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
