Her child was 14 months old at the time of her presentation to our center. Her husband divorced her a year prior to her presentation when the child was 2 months old. The husband was not responsible for the current pregnancy. [casereports.in]

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]

• Projectile Vomiting

  She developed moderate vaginal bleeding which was associated with colicky abdominal pain and projectile vomiting a day after the procedure. Three days later, she went back to the same hospital because of worsening symptoms. [casereports.in]

• Hypnotic State

  The hypnotic state was deepened by a challenging method, an approach to focus the patient’s concentration on an important aspect of her desires. After witnessing sufficient signs of trance, the surgery was initiated. [anesthpain.com]

• Extrapyramidal Symptoms

  After operation, the Post-Anaesthesia Discharge Score (PADS), patient self-assessment scores for pain, nausea, drowsiness and dizziness, and extrapyramidal symptoms were recorded. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

Treatment depends on the diagnosis. For example, if cancer is diagnosed, treatment options include hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus), radiotherapy, chemotherapy and hormone therapy. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]

Treatment responses were evaluated every 3 months. EM aspiration biopsy was conducted after LNG-IUS removal followed D&C. The tissue samples were histologically compared. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

NICE guidance states that D&C should not be used as a therapeutic treatment. [scarboroughryedaleccg.nhs.uk]

CONCLUSIONS: While neither symptomatic nor asymptomatic cervical polyps are an indication for dilatation and curettage (following excision) in women in their reproductive years, and do not affect their management or prognosis, this is not the case in [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The sensitivity of diagnosing the etiology of AUB with D&C was 65%, compared to a sensitivity of 98% with hysteroscopy with directed biopsy. [mdedge.com]

AIM: The aim of this study was to clarify the role of dilatation and curettage (D&C) performed for spontaneous or induced abortion in the etiology of endometrial thinning. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Conclusions: according to the current knowledge on the etiology of AUB, this study showed that traditional diagnostic D&C has low accuracy in the evaluation of AUB and a cost/benefit relation incompatible with current medicine. [scielo.br]

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]

Beginning systemic enzymes after bleeding has stopped, after D&C, may help to prevent scar tissue from forming. Prevention of scar tissue will help to prevent Asherman’s syndrome and blocked fallopian tubes. [natural-fertility-info.com]
