BACKGROUND Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the most frequent problems in life of an adult female. Uterine curettage or biopsy remains a preferred sampling procedure for diagnosis of the endometrial pathology. The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value of endometrial curettage. PATIENTS AND METHODS This validation study w...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine if second curettage was associated with a decreased need for the number of chemotherapy treatments compared to usual care. METHODS A pilot randomized controlled clinical trial was designed at Motahhari Referral Hospital in 2014. Fifty-two patients with low risk, nonmetastatic gestational trophoblastic neoplasm were assigned randomly to tw...

BACKGROUND Difficulty in cervical dilatation is a hard situation during the procedure of diagnostic dilatation and curettage in some cases. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of vaginal misoprostol for cervical priming before diagnostic dilatation and curettage. METHODS In this study 56 women were selected as the candidates for dilatation and curettage. The study was double blind...

BACKGROUND Organ transplant recipients frequently develop multiple squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Surgical excision and Mohs micrographic surgery are frequently used treatments for these carcinomas; however, curettage and electrodesiccation are a useful alternative in these patients. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy of curettage and electrodesiccation for the treatment of appropriately s...

We undertook this retrospective study to determine the rate of recurrence and functional outcome after intralesional curettage for chondroblastoma of bone. The factors associated with aggressive behaviour of the tumour were also analysed. We reviewed 53 patients with histologically-proven chondroblastoma who were treated by intralesional curettage in our unit between 1974 and 2000. They were fo...

 In pavement design, the CBR and direct shear tests are two very common laboratory investigations for predicting the strength of a subgrade layer. The relationship between the CBR and water content has been commonly presented in analyses, with the result of the direct shear being expressed from the aspect of effective cohesion and the internal friction angle. Even though most natural soil is in...

Patients with chalazia were randomly allocated to treatment by intralesional triamcinolone injection or incision and curettage. Incision and curettage resulted in a significantly higher rate of resolution by two weeks after treatment.

BACKGROUND During orthopedic operations, such as total hip replacement or total knee replacement, there is a lot of bone debris from bone cutting and reaming that commonly causes surgical suction devices to occlude many times, which can prolong the operative time and increase the amount of bleeding for the patient. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed a surgical filter suction system that we ca...

Manual vacuum aspiration is an effective and safer surgical method of uterine evacuation for an abortion. Nonetheless, it can present some life-threatening complications like uterine perforations. In a uterine perforation the suction cannula is thought to be usually involved in the perforation and the resulting intraabdominal organ damage. We presented a case of a young muilti-parous Cameroonia...

Background: Abnormal uterine Bleeding is one of the most common disorders in Gynecology. Dilatation and curettage is a diagnostic procedure in the management of the abnormal uterine bleeding. The results of this procedure could be used to achive a definite treatment such as hysterectomy. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of dilatation and curettage. Mater...
