My theory is I'd rather be in the OR than rounding. Richard Chudacoff, MD, FACOG Robert, Trust your first instinct. Don't try to be hero. It won't be her first time having an abdominal scar. The time spent on rounding would be preferred over time spent in front of a QA committee or in a lawyer's office. It is true that an abdominal approach may not prevent any complications, but I think there are still a lot of old timers out there who would crucify you if anything goes wrong during a laparoscopic approach. Why set yourself up for an open season? I wouldn't call you a laparoscopic chicken in this case. On the other hand, some may call you a surgical cowboy! Why not exhaust all your medical options before even considering surgery? I envy the folks who are in the position to push the surgical envelope. Good luck.

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.
