Complications of Uterine Curettes
Types of Endometrial biopsy
Time of Endometrial biopsy
- During bleeding: β For determination of endometrial pattern & helping to stop bleeding.
- Premenstrual: β For diagnosis of anovulation & TB endometritis.
Possibilities of endometrial pattern detected by D&C
First 4 patterns arenβt present in postmenopausal patients.
1) Normal proliferative endometrium.
2) Normal secretory endometrium.
3) Irregular ripening of endometrium.
4) Irregular shedding of endometrium.
ββ
5) Endometrial hyperplasia.
6) Endometrial carcinoma.
7) Atrophic endometrium.
8) Specific endometritis (as TB endometritis).
Types of Forceps
Desc of Ring forceps
Desc. of Sponge Forceps
Indications of Ring & Sponge Forceps
Desc. of Ovum Forceps
Indications of Ovum Forceps
Evacuation of products of conception as
in:
1) Abortion (inevitable, incomplete, septic or therapeutic).
2) Vesicular mole.
Types of Volsellum forceps
Indications of Volsellum forceps
CI of Volsellum forceps
A) Soft pregnant cervix.
B) Friable cervix (as in cancer cervix).
C) Infection.
Comp of Volsellum forceps
A) Lacerations.
B) Bleeding from site of grasp.
C) Infection.
Multitoothed volsellum is used > single toothed as it β¦β¦.
is less traumatic & doesnβt slip
Volsellum can be used Γ¨out anesthesia as cervix is sensitive only to dilatation.
