Conservative surgery means taking out the dermoid(s) while conserving the ovary/ovaries. The disagreement seems to be whether to do it now (at Caesar) or waste time, money and resources by coming back to do it at a later date.

El I will let the article speak for me. Conservative surgery. Operative word is conservative A 10-year retrospective review was conducted of incidental adnexal neoplasms found at the time of cesarean section. During the 10-year period between

July 1,1976 and June 30, 1986, 17,902 cesarean sections were performed at Women's Hospital of the Los Angeles County/University of Southern California Medical Center. Adnexal neoplasms were identified with an incidence of one neoplasm per 197 cesarean sections. When a neoplasm is discovered during

surgery, conservative surgery is recommended.

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.
