So what's the fuss? The major problem medicolegally is recognizing the damage and repairing it. Since bladder damage is a material risk of most GYN surgery, the patient (if she's given proper informed consent) has accepted the risk and if it happens, you're safe on paper. You're mistake would be not recognizing a tear or laceration or not repairing it correctly if you did. Joe P. .. Next message: Garry E.

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.
