Types of D and C Procedures and How It’s Performed?
Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a safe, effective, keyhole surgical procedure used to detect fibroids, uterine cancer, and polyps or terminate pregnancies that are 10 weeks or older by carefully excavating the content on the inner lining of the uterine cavity.Â
There are two kinds of D&C procedure classification:
- Based on the type of approach, there are only two types: Â
- Diagnostic D&C procedure.Â
- Therapeutic D&C procedure.
- Based on the type of diagnosis made:
- Planned D&C.Â
- Emergency D&C.
- Elective D&C.
- Suction D&C.
Dilation and curettage are considered when a woman’s health status matches the eligibility criteria after a thorough assessment. During this procedure, the cervix is briefly dilated to permit access to a thin tube (cannula), which is then subsequently attached to a suction device. The gynaecologists then delicately remove the tissues from within the uterus on the inner lining of the uterus in the event of a miscarriage or after an abortion.Â
