el -

data has been published showing equal cosmetics, shouldn't speed and thus not only costs to health system but also anesthetic time therefore be a consideration? I don't see why this should annoy you. I use staples for all those reasons. I take them out day 2, my scars look just fine, thank you very much. And if I'm out of the OR 5 min faster with same outcome, I like that all the much better.

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.
