Broken CuT removed from patient

Two days back I removed an IUCD very gently from a patient and as is my custom, I held it up for her to see. When I realized that half of the horizontal T was missing. I got an Ultrasound done and sure enough there was a shadow of the missing limb seen in the cavity. I gave her an appointment for a simple D&C for removal of that piece.

KOLKATA AICOG2007

The last month has been hectic with lot of travelling. The AICOG 2007 was held in Kolkata this year. The arrangements and the venue were okay considering the huge delegation to cater.
The scientific delebrations were good but plagued with electricity breakdowns and audiovisual snags.
The trade fair this year was different, more fun esp worth mentioning would be the stalls of Dabur and Emcure.
The night cruise on the Hooghly river was a memorable one esp. as we passed below the Howrah bridge.The city has many modern malls we went to the Forum. A trip to Victoria memorial is a must to capture the old world charm of Kolkata.
The take home lesson from the conference for me, was to diagnose and to treat cases of Gestational diabetes mellitus very carefully so as to prevent Diabetes in their offspring.

The Gynae Blogosphere

For gynaecologists who love blogging I found a blog which has been there for sometime Dr. Aniruddha Malpani's blog. He has a great website too esp for patients looking for IVF treatment. His site has many videos explaining the IVF procedure to patients. I had the good fortune of listening to him speak at a recent conference in Varanasi, Dr. Gautam Allahabadia's IF2006. The conference at Varanasi was great contentwise as well as it was fun also. We visited Sarnath. They say that "Benares ki subah aur Awadh ki shaam" are not to be missed. The guide told us that there were three sites worth seeing in Benares - The sunrise, The Ganga arti in the evening and Sarnath.

Narchi conference

Narchi conference at the Scientific convention centre, King George's Medical University, in Lucknow was a good learning experience thanks to the organisers, Dr. Chandrawati and Dr. Priti Kumar. It was held from 27-29th Oct 2006.
The workshops were interesting. Role of newer ultrasound technology in fetal medicine was covered well by Dr. Ashok Khurana.(site better seen on Internet explorer) The colposcopy workshop was equally good due to the able guidance of Dr. Usha B. Saraiya.

Dr Pankaj Desai's Website an interesting site for gynaecologists

For the last two months I have been planning to start a blog of my own. I got a rich source of information from Digital Inspiration. Another source of inspiration was a good site for Indian gynaecologists, Dr Pankaj Desai's website. I especially like the your corner section this time with great photos from Dr.Roza.
