Most can be broken up with digital exam but the few that didn't I placed into the stirrups and with long dressing forceps to stretch and break the scar tissue and all of them delivered vaginally with no problems, usually quite quickly. I have not seen this published anywhere, but was taught this (as many good things) by my chief resident and it has served me well. I think you were on the right track.

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.
