Live LSH webcast 4/28From: Nadine Fraser (nadinef@doctors-office.net)Mon Apr 26 19:47:53 2004
Physicians Janice Werbinski, MD, and Scott Piereson, MD, both of Borgess Women's Health, will perform a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH), which will be broadcast live via the Internet beginning at 9:45 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, April 28 at http://www.OR-Live.com New Procedure Offers Less Scaring - Faster Recovery Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) is a recent surgical option that uses laparoscopy alone to remove the uterus, but leaves the cervix intact. During the procedure, a laparoscope and small surgical instruments are inserted through tiny incisions in the navel and abdomen. Using these instruments, the surgeon is able to carefully separate the uterus from the cervix and then remove it through one of the incisions. Because less cutting and tissue manipulation is involved, there may be less of a chance for damage to other internal organs like the bladder. LSH is less invasive than traditional "open" hysterectomy. It was developed to reduce pain and trauma to the body, minimize scarring, and shorten recovery time. The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, which means patients can be home resting comfortably within 24 hours and back to normal activities in less than a week (6 days, on average). A progam preview video is available now.

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.
