CONCLUSION(S): Dilatation and curettage is an inadequate diagnostic and therapeutic tool for all uterine disorders; this technique missed 62.5% of major intrauterine disorders, and all endometrial disorders were still present in the removed uterus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Case Presentation A D&C was performed on a 36-year-old 2 parous woman because of missed abortion at 9 weeks of gestation. She had undergone lower segment cesarean section twice. [hindawi.com]

  Introduction Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) is a minor surgical procedure to remove tissue from the endometrium, the lining of the womb. [baddowhospital.co.uk]

  Dilatation and curettage, also called as D&C, is a common surgical procedure done on women to scrape and collect the tissue from inside the uterus. The cervical passage in a women leads to the uterus. [medindia.net]

  No significant statistical difference was recognized between the study groups regarding the occurrence of cervical lacerations, fever or the rate of inadequate intrauterine sampling (p > 0.05). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Advise the woman to watch for symptoms and signs requiring immediate attention: - prolonged cramping (more than a few days); - prolonged bleeding (more than 2 weeks); - bleeding more than normal menstrual bleeding; - severe or increased pain; - fever, [hetv.org]

• Asymptomatic

  OBJECTIVE: To investigate the need for fractional dilatation and curettage following excision of symptomatic versus asymptomatic cervical polyps. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  They also recommend that symptomatic patients warrant hysteroscopy and curettage, whereas asymptomatic patients warrant only Pipelle endometrial sampling. [obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

  Postoperatively, the intraocular inflammation resolved gradually. Six months after the second vitrectomy, the best-corrected visual acuity in the right eye was 20/25. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  In some cases, the patient will develop infection, which may be indicated by chills, fever, and inflammation of the vagina or the cervix. [docdoc.com.sg]

  The side effects include nausea, sometimes a fever, and diarrhea. This style of abortion can be taken in the privacy of your own home. There is no anesthesia, either, and the success rate is 95 percent when done before nine weeks. [checkpregnancy.com]

AIM: A biopsy is often taken as part of the preoperative workup, regardless of the indication for hysterectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Surgical treatment should be proposed only for diagnosis remaining uncertain after complete workup, significant and related symptoms or exceptionally when exists concern with malignancy. [endoscopy-campus.com]

Circumstances in which this may be necessary include molar pregnancy or to aid in the workup of patients with habitual miscarriage. However, in cases of elective terminations or when products of conception are obvious, this step may be omitted. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology United States data The prevalence of hepatic cystadenomas is low, with fewer than 200 cases reported in the literature. These tumors account for a very small number of all hepatic tumors. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology Hepatic cystadenomas appear as multilocular (rarely unilocular) cystic lesions that are surrounded by a smooth and thick fibrous capsule. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Since the pathophysiological mechanism behind D&C and subsequent preterm birth remains unclear, it is unsure whether cervical shortening will occur prior to preterm birth. [humrep.oxfordjournals.org]
