Daniel: "Re: Granulation tissue" In ones like these - I found that taking it out and leaving it out - while applying estrogen cream to the vaginal mucosa - results in a fairly quick healing - then return to a different pessary - sometime chage size - sometimes change type. Also - you can put in an Estring with a pessary and have the local estrogen effect. Even for a LeFort - if she is that atrophic - you would want the estrogen so you could stitch without it falling apart as you stitch.

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.
