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]

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]

• 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]

DESIGN: A decision tree was constructed to compare [1] dilatation and curettage (D&C) followed by treatment of all ectopic pregnancies with methotrexate versus [2] empiric treatment of all patients with possible ectopic pregnancies with methotrexate without [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

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]

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]

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]

Seromucinous cystadenoma: According to some authors, seromucinous cystadenomas likely derive from endometriosis.[5] Epidemiology Serous cystadenoma: Benign serous tumors of the ovary represent 16% of all ovarian epithelial neoplasms and account for two-thirds [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

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

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of dexamethasone administered intravenously at three different doses (4 mg, 8 mg, 16 mg) for the prevention of nausea and vomiting after dilatation and curettage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
