<<Re: morcellation , have performed 10 laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomies using the FemRx morcellator. This is a terrific instrument for removal of the fundus, irrespective of the size. Patient recovery is dramatic... discharge in less than 24 hours (most patients), half a dozen pain pills the next two days, and resumption most activties in less than a week ( blood loss almost nil or zero)>>

How big a puncture does the morcellator have to go thru?

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.
