I did it through the laparoscope for a 1,500-gram myoma in the 2nd trimester. Bipolar desiccation of the stalk, then morcellation through the umbilicus. No problems. Delivered by cesarean in labor for obstetrical indications at term. I published it several years ago.

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.
