Re: GYN:Uterine Balloon Therapy From: anil (anil@versaform.com) Thu Mar 5 10:42:35 1998 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Myer S. Bornstein: "Re: GYN:Uterine Balloon Therapy" Previous message: Malcolm Griffiths: "Re: OB: delay in twin delivery" What I find interesting is the number of different modalities. There is the ballon, but also there is a technique for just instilling warmed saline, and having it circulated by an intrauterine device. The latter seems as if it would get more of the endometrium, and actually has a pressure gauge that stops the instillation if it detect flow through the fallopian tubes. What do y'all think. Or will this go the way of the roller ball? Rick -- Richard Chudacoff, MD REPLY: There are lots of " new" methods arriving soon to decrease menorrhagia, including new balloon devices, hot irrigation, cryotherapy probes, Radio-Frequency devices, and other modifications of resections. I'm not sure which will finally take hold as "popular" and "covered" but clearly there needs to remain a solid option for resection for the more complex cases. I'm curious, were the presentations made by "sales" people or Docs with experience? Anil Anil Singhal, MD VersaForm Systems Corp. (408) 370 2662 591 W.

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.
