A more thorough histologic evaluation can be obtained by a dilatation and curettage, which requires anesthesia.

The bleeding increases the likelihood that a woman on estrogen therapy will need a dilatation and curettage or a hysterectomy.

However, careful use of criteria for surgery could increase the value and reduce the incidence of dilatation and curettage.

A dilatation and curettage (D&C) or misoprostol may be needed to clean the uterus of any residual tissue.

And what was far simpler for Dr. Larch to teach him: dilatation and curettage.

Hysteroscopy and biopsy are more time consuming and expensive than the traditional dilatation and curettage.

In some cases, you may need a procedure called a dilatation and curettage (D&C) to remove tissue remaining in the uterus.

Uterine perforation may occur during a dilatation and curettage (D&C) or an endometrial biopsy.

Such bleeding is followed by further evaluation leading to a tissue diagnosis, usually done by a dilatation and curettage (D&C).

Dilatation and curettage (D&C).

An office endometrial sampling, or a dilatation and curettage (D&C), is then performed, providing a histologic specimen for diagnosis.

'Here in St. Cloud's,' he wrote, to himself, 'it is imperative to have good obstetrical procedure, and to be able to perform a dilatation and curettage.

The problem is usually treated initially by a D and C (dilatation and curettage) and/or progesterone therapy with a drug like Provera.

While in many situations the cause of the abnormal implantation remains unclear, there is evidence to link the development of cervical pregnancy to uterine instrumentation, specifically repeated D&Cs (dilatation and curettage).

Although they did not offer any pathological data, they suggest that dilatation and curettage may be inappropriate in many cases and that guidelines should be developed to agree on the most appropriate patients for the procedure.

Before a decision to operate, an examination of the uterine lining is necessary; for example, by doing an endometrial biopsy or a D & C (dilatation and curettage) to try to determine the cause of bleeding.

To conclude, close cooperation between providers of primary and tertiary care could contribute to the more appropriate use of dilatation and curettage and allow 'office' endometrial sampling to be performed by general practitioners with a concomitant reduction in day case and inpatient procedures.

Stage 2: bleeding continues - check coagulation status, assemble response team, move to operating room, place intrauterine balloon, administer additional uterotonics (misoprostol, carboprost tromethamine), consider: uterine artery embolization, dilatation and curettage, and laparotomy with uterine compression stitches or hysterectomy.
