Sorry I don't have the stuff to hand, but it was a general warning about blind endometrial ablation using heat. There seem to have been a few perfs and/or thermal injury to adjacent organs.

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.
