Re: TAH and diminished libido From: Braun, R. Daniel (rbraun@iupui.edu) Wed Sep 1 10:06:03 2004 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Joe Cutchin: "Re: TAH and diminished libido" Previous message: art fougner, md: "Re: UAE - was unnecesary hysts" The change from routine Supra cervical to routine TAH started around 1950 and came about with the safety of Blood Banking. The major amount of blood loss with most abd. Hysts is during the removal of the cervix. With Blood banking, it became safer to do. If elevating the bladder for a hyst, causes sexual dysfunction, why doesn't elevating it for a cesarean???? Which BTW, I don't do anymore. I quit routinely making bladder flaps about 10 years ago.
