Re: economics of hysterectomyFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Thu Dec 13 15:37:32 2007
That's interesting, but certainly not followed by Kaiser in Northern CA. I saw a patient recently with a 12wk size fibroid uterus who had been scheduled for a TAH/BSO. She transferred care and I did a LAVH/BSO which required vaginal morcelation. It wasn't easy because of two large posterior fibroids near the cervix, but wasn't complicated either and they hadn't even mentioned it to her as an option. She appreciated avoiding the abdominal scar and I think she will be back to work and full activities much quicker. Ronald E.

Their associated Kaiser facility in Santa Monica determined that LSH cost $5500, and TAH cost $11,000.(in 2003-4) Glenn

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.
