Siegel, M.D.: "Laparoelytrotomy" It is well described in the literature. I think hte first reference to it was by a fellow from New York city around 1908 Gaugarin or something like that. I would have to look it up again. He actually proposed tha it be don on purpose. One advantage is that in the future, there is no uterine scar and no chance for rupture of the uterus. So if it is done, it needs to be recognized and documented. You are aware that the corresponding word for LTCCS is Laparotrachelotomy. The residents always freak out when I put that in my op note. Trachelos is Greek for neck. Elytros is Greek for sheath or pouch. Dan -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net on behalf of Garry E.

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.
