Shorter surgery time, easier recovery, less risk--if you do less surgery, you lessen the downsides, to a degree. Also, for a variety of reasons, a woman may want to keep her uterus. I think that, after appropriate discussion and depending on the circumstances, that it is reasonable. Good thread.

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.
