	Dilation Suction or Curettage -- eCureMe.com
		Dilation and suction and/or curettage are often referred to as a D&C because the name was used before suction was invented.
		Suction devices have revolutionized this procedure and the uterus can now be emptied more rapidly and through a smaller opening in the cervix.
		The material obtained from suction and/or curettage is sent to the laboratory where it is placed on slides, stained, and then examined by a pathologist.

	Dilation and curettage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dilation (dilatation) and curettage (DandC) or sharp curettage is a gynaecological procedure performed on the female reproductive system that used to be a common method of abortion.
		A curettage is performed with a curette, a metal rod with a handle on one end and a sharp loop on the other.
		Three related procedures used for abortion are suction or vacuum aspiration, dilation and evacuation and dilation and extraction, the latter of which is also known non-medically as partial-birth abortion.

		Very late abortions can be brought about by the controversial intact dilation and extraction (D & X) or a hysterotomy abortion, similar to a caesarian section, and requiring the surgical decompression of the fetus's head before evacuation.

	Partial Birth Abortion Case of Planned Parenthood v Doyle
		In a suction curettage procedure, the physician generally dilates the cervix, inserts a tube (cannula) through the vagina and the cervix into the uterus, and removes the embryo or fetus and other products of conception through the cannula while it is inside the vagina, cervix, and uterus.
		Suction Curettage--Occasionally, in some suction curettage procedures, it is necessary for the physician to use forceps to remove the fetus from the uterus.
		It is not the suction curettage procedure, the induction procedure or the D and E procedure.

		Then the clinician uses instruments called "dilators" to open the cervix, or sometimes medically induces dilation.
		Once that has been accomplished, a sterile cannula is inserted into the uterus and this canula is attached via tubing to either an electric pump or a specialized syringe depending on whether the procedure is electric vacuum aspiration or manual vacuum aspiration respectively.
		Suction Aspiration is the most commonly used method of abortion in the world, especially when performed early in the pregnancy up to about 16 weeks.

		Surgical abortions can be done with the gentle suction of a syringe, which is called manual vacuum aspiration (MVA); with gentle suction curettage; with dilation and evacuation; or with induction, depending on the length of the pregnancy.
		The dilators absorb fluids from the cervical area and stretch the opening of the cervix as the dilators expand.
		Blood loss from D and C, or "mechanical" curettage is greater than for suction aspiration, as is the likelihood of uterine perforation and infection.

	ABORTION,
		The cervix (neck of the uterus) is dilated, and the contents of the uterus are withdrawn with a handheld syringe.
		In dilation and suction curettage, ordinarily done from the fifth or sixth to 13th weeks, the cervix is opened gradually with a series of dilators and the uterine contents are withdrawn by means of a small flexible tube called a cannula, which is connected to a vacuum pump.
		Introduced in China in 1958, vacuum aspiration soon largely supplanted the traditional early-abortion procedure, dilation and curettage (DandC), in which the curette is used to dislodge the fetus.

	Dilation and Curettage -- eCureMe.com
		Dilation and curettage is also known as D&C, and refers to dilation of the cervix (widening the cervix) and curetting of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus).
		The cervical os or 'opening of the uterus' is dilated and a curette (spoon-shaped instrument) is used to scrape the wall of the uterus and remove some of the endometrium, or lining of the uterus.
		More commonly, one uses a set of 'dilators.' These are usually a set of instruments of varying sizes, and incrementally they are introduced into the cervix slowly increased the opening to the desired size.

	RemedyFind: patient ratings of Abortion Surgery: Dilation and Suction Curettage for Birth Control
		Dilation and Suction Curettage is a type of abortion surgery, which involves dilation of the cervix and vacuuming out of the fetus.
		Suction curettage is performed under local anesthesia using a sterile plastic cannula or curette inserted through a progressively dilated cervix with aspiration of the uterine contents by an electric pump.
		The perforation rates in curettage performed for postpartum hemorrhage and intrauterine adhesions were relatively high (5.1 and 1.8%, respectively); the rates in those for elective abortion and postmenopausal bleeding were intermediate (0.4 and 0.2%, respectively); and in those performed for other indications, the rate was very low (less than or equal to 0.06%).

		In a suction abortion, the abortionist dilates the cervix with mechanical dilators or laminaria, a porous substance that is inserted hours or a day before the abortion and that gradually dilates the cervix by soaking up fluid.

		Dilation and Curettage (DandC, or sharp curettage)--This method is not as common anymore for abortions, because it requires more dilation and more time, and is considered less safe than suction curettage.

		Once this dilatation has been completed, the curette, which is an instrument with a flat metal loop at the end, is inserted into the uterine cavity and is used to gently scrape the lining of the uterus.

	Dilation & Curettage by BabyPartner
		Dilation and curettage, often shortened to D&C, is the procedure of cleaning out the uterus after a miscarriage or other complication such as a molar pregnancy or retained placenta.
		After a miscarriage it is necessary to remove any remaining tissue to prevent infection and in the case of a molar pregnancy any material left behind may continue to grow.
		In a similar procedure called dilation and evacuation, or D&E, a long plastic tube attached to a suction device is used.
