goes back to the old "gate theory"-- if the nervous system never perceives pain, even if the patient is unconscious, she will feel less post-op. the local meds keep the pain sensors from firing and thus she will feel better post op. i use a similar technique on all my vaginal cases and for port sites on scopes.

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.
