Description of Dilation and Curettage:
What is Dilation and Curettage?
Dilation and curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure in which the cervix is dilated and the contents of the uterus are scraped and scooped out, which is known as curettage. This is a remedial gynecological procedure and is used in rare cases of first trimester abortion.

How is Dilation and Curettage Performed?
Dilation and curettage involves two steps:
How to Prepare for Dilation and Curettage?
Dilation and curettage involves two steps:
- Step 1: Dilation
The cervix is grasped with a clamp and a thin flexible metallic tube is inserted to find out the depth and angle of the uterus. This is done to determine how far the curette can be inserted safely into the uterus. It takes approximately 10 minutes for the cervix to expand. The dilation may alternatively be done by using Laminaria tents, which may be inserted 8 to 20 hours before the dilation procedure. The Laminaria absorbs fluids and swells up. This causes the cervix to be dilated in a less traumatic way as compared to using metallic dilators for dilation. - Step 2: Hysteroscopy and Curettage
After the dilation procedure, a speculum is used to open the vagina and a tiny spoon is used to extract a sample of the lining of the cervix. The hysteroscope is at this moment entered into the uterus to view the inside of the uterus. Any polyps, fibroids or abnormal growths of the endometrium may be viewed during this procedure. Biopsies may also be performed at this time.
Then, a larger and longer curette is inserted into the uterus through the dilated cervix. The doctor then scrapes the uterine wall gently, and the collected samples are sent for lab analysis. After the completion of the curettage, the instruments are removed.
Patients who are under local anesthesia may feel a tugging sensation during the curettage and cramps may also be experienced.
How to Prepare for Dilation and Curettage?
- The patient may need to do some blood and urine tests.
- Sedatives may be provided before the procedure.
- Deep breathing may help in easing cramps experienced during the procedure.
- The patient may be required to stop taking certain medication a few days before the procedure.
- Consumption of alcohol and tobacco should also be avoided.
- The doctor should be informed if the patient is suffering from any ailments and medical condition.
