Don't be horrified, I not infrequently find the fibroids and general scarring make getting the cervix out almost impossible and leave it in if there's no cervical pathology. As to the code you are going to use - I have no idea!

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.
