>Is there someone how can say me what is the official date of the first According to _Eternal Eve, The History of Gynaecology & Obstetrics_ by Harvey Graham, published in 1951 the first recorded cesarean section in which mother and child both lived was performed in 1500. It was performed by Jacob Nufer, a Swiss sow-gelder, on his wife after her protracted first labor, after 13 midwives and 2 lithotomists despaired of getting her delivered safely. She went on to live to be 77 years old and had vaginal births of one set of twins and four other children. The first recorded successful VBAC's, as well! This is reported to have been the first of the 15 successful cesarean operations performed in the sixteenth century. Cheri Van Hoover, CNM Kaiser Hospital Redwood City, CA

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.
