As far as time of surgery goes, that depends on two factors: ... again, an able assistant can speed up the surgery dramatically, while a poor assistant will slow things down interminably; ... a small uterus can indeed be removed quickly; for some reason all of mine in recent history were far from small, and indeed the fibroids were often on one side or the other, blocking good access to the lower aspect of the lateral vasculature, and to the transection. That is where I seem to loose the most time. -- Rafael C.

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.
