Have the anesthetist/ Anesthesiologist give the indigo carmine when you are 5-8 minutes from finishing. Have the cysto instruments set up and ready. Then, the only time involved is waiting to see the indigo carmine come out each ureter, which should happen very quickly.

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.
