The method I use involves also taking multiple bites with sutures side to side to bring uterosacrals together to prevent enterocoele. My understanding is that otherwise there is a high incidence of enterocoele.

Secondly I use a delayed absorbale suture. Malcolm Griffiths MD,MRCOG,MFFP,Cert.Mgmnt Obstetrician & Gynaecologist Luton & Dunstable Hosp.,UK.

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.
