Re: PAP Smear after TAH

What I have understood about the rationale for performing Paps on post-TAH patients is that the upper third of the vagina is susceptible to the same transforming effects of HPV because it is derived from the same uterovaginal primordium as the cervix. Is this incorrect?? Is the theory correct, but without evidence?? I would LOVE to do a medline search on this, but as I use Grateful Med through AOL It would take me three days just to log on.

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.
