Uterine Closure Post C/S

Years ago, I was assisting a resident at a C/Section and we were 2/3 of the way with closing the low-transverse uterine incision when I realized that we were sewing the upper edge of the uterine to the back wall of the uterus. There was a transverse ridge in this area which fooled us both into thinking that we were suturing the upper to the lower edges. Has anyone else seen this happen?

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.
