Intraoperative and Postoperative Complications of Dilation and Curettage


Abstract in English

Uterine curettage is considered the fundamental procedure in the treatment of abortions especially in complete and missed abortions in many counties despite the availability of many alternative methods to treat these cases. It is also widely used as a diagnostic means to diagnoses the endometrial abnormalities which cause abnormal uterine bleeding. This research aims to figure out complications rate which occur during uterine curettage and the subsequent complications rate and to identify the most important causes of them for the purpose of knowing the efficiency and the safety of the diagnostic and therapeutic uterine curettage.
