GYN: Fibroids and a Pelvic Kidney

Hi all..

I have a patient in her late forties with an 18 week size uterus secondary to uterine fibroids. She had a hematocrit of 26% due to heavy 7-8 day periods with blood clots. I am trying to get her periods to slow medically with provera 10d/month. US of the pelvis revealed these fibroids and a left pelvic kidney.. If medical therapy fails, I was considering a TAH.

Anyone ever do a hyst in a patient with a pelvic kidney? Do you have any helpful hints?

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.
