Re: BSO without hysterectomy From: Henry Gregor (henrygregor@yahoo.com) Sat Feb 2 20:19:45 2008 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Joanne Bulley, MD: "Sat : off topic" Previous message: Garry E.

This is more of an academic argument. How many women would have to be subjected to the additional risk of hysterectomy in order to avoid one case of interstitial Fallopian tube cancer? And doing a hysterectomy does not reduce the risk of primary peritoneal cancer. If there is ANY other indications for a hysterectomy, I would not hesitate to suggest one along with the risk reducing BSO. Otherwise, I would try to use the ACOG recommendation to reassure the patient that a hysterectomy would not be necessary. Allan Very reasonable outlook. --------------------------------- Who's never won?

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.
