Everything depends on the age of the pt. I've been bred in the abdominal Sub-total hysterectomy + sacropexy + Burch &turned to the vaginal route. I'm rather a vaginalist now.

For a young patient the abdominal way seems to be the best. For an old woman TVH + Richter, or if she is really old with no more sexual activity Lefort or Rouhier procedure (total colpectomy + partitioning).

For the laparoscopic I think it's much ado about nothing. It can be useful for a young woman who wants to keep her uterus & have children…

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.
