Our group does not routinely recommend cerclage for patients with previous cervical cone biopsies. We do more frequent vaginal exams to check for signs of premature cervical effacement or dilatation. Ricky Kaplan, MD Private Practice OB/GYN Greensboro, NC

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.
