 | PreOp® Patient Education Women: Dilation and Curettage http://www.PreOp.com Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a Dilation and Curettage, or D and C. But what does that actually mean? The uterus is part of a woman's reproductive system. It's the organ that contains the growing fetus. The cervix forms the neck of the uterus, and the vagina is the canal through which conception and birth take place. The endometrium is a soft lining that protects the fetus during pregnancy. Reasons for having a D and C vary. Most D and C's are performed because the patient has complained of unusually heavy menstrual bleeding. Other common problems include, uterine infection, bleeding after sexual intercourse, incomplete miscarriage or the presence of polyps - small pieces of extra tissue growing on the inside of the uterine wall. |

 | PreOp® Patient Education Hysterectomy Removal of Uterus http://www.PreOp.com Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO Your doctor has recommended that you have a hysterectomy with the removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes. But what does that actually mean? Hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus - the organ that holds and protects the fetus during pregnancy. Hysterectomy often also involves the removal of other parts of the reproductive system, including the ovaries - where eggs are produced - the fallopian tubes which carry the eggs to the uterus and the cervix - or neck of the uterus. There are many different reasons why a doctor may recommend this kind of surgery. In many cases, disease or the growth of abnormal tissue will lead a doctor to recommend the removal of the uterus, the ovaries and fallopian tubes. In some cases, unusually heavy menstrual flow and the accompanying discomfort may make hysterectomy an important treatment option for patient and physician to consider. But no matter what the reason behind it, you should be aware that the removal of the uterus and other reproductive organs is a serious step and it can mean significant changes in your life. After having a hysterectomy, you will not be able to have children and if because your ovaries are removed as part of the procedure, you may even need to take medication to replace hormones that your body once produced on its own. So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation. |
 | Slaughterhouse - Nassogne 2007 Childbirth (also called labour, birth, partus or parturition) is the culmination of a human pregnancy or gestation period with the delivery of one or more newborn infants from a woman's uterus. The process of human childbirth is categorized in 3 stages of labour. In the first stage, the uterus begins rhythmic contractions which steadily increase in strength and frequency, gradually widening and thinning the cervix. During the second stage, the infant passes from the uterus, through the cervix and birth canal. In the third stage, the placenta pulls from the uterine wall and is expelled through the birth canal.

 | PreOp® Patient Education Myomectomy Vaginal Fibroid Surgery http://www.PreOp.com Patient ED @ 617-379-1582 INFO Your gynecologist has recommended that you undergo surgery to remove vaginal fibroids. But what does that actually mean? The uterus is part of a woman's reproductive system - it's the organ that contains and protects a growing fetus during pregnancy. Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow from the inner or outer wall of the uterus. They are quite common - as many as 20% of women over 30 will develop fibroids sometime during their lifetimes. In most cases fibroids do not cause any discomfort and are never detected. Occasionally, however, fibroid tumors can cause problems. Complications from fibroid growth can include: * Pressure on the urinary system. * Pressure on the intestines. * Interference with the reproductive system * Or infection. Because these tumors can grow to be very large, surgery is usually recommended in order to restore health and to protect the uterus. |
 | How the Body Works : The Growing Embryo The Growing Embryo The growing embryo is kept alive by the placenta, an organ formed from the embryonic tissue which connects it to the mother's uterus. There are five stages in the development of the placenta, as illustrated here. During the development of the placenta the embryo, protected by fluid in the amniotic sac, gains nourishment for the first few weeks from the yolk sac. Later the placenta, formed by projections of an embryonic membrane, the chorion, which penetrates the uterine wall, provides the embryo with food and oxygen. The blood vessels of the allantoic sac later become part of the umbilical cord. |
 | Dilation And Evacuation Abortion Illustrated / Pro-Life Anti-Abortion Video Dilation And Evacuation Abortion Of A 23 Week Unborn Baby. Images from Nucleus Communications, Inc. All text from Fair Use. Once the women's cervix has been dialated, which is a two or three day process requiring two trips to the abortionist, forceps are inserted through the enlarged cervix into the uterus. The body parts are grasped at random with a large, long toothed grasping clamp. With the large, long toothed grasping clamp, the abortionist twists the limbs and body parts from the unborn baby -- and pulls them from the baby -- and pulls the body parts out of the vaginal canal. The remaining body parts, with the exception of the head, are grasped and pulled out. During this procedure, perforation of the uterus is possible. The head is then crushed in order to remove it through the vaginal canal. The placenta and remaining contents are then suctioned from the uterus. The body parts must be reassembled outside of the mother's body to be sure all was removed from the womb. If some body parts are missing, then the abortionist must continue to search for the missing body parts and retrieve them. At a gestational age of twenty weeks, the mother has been feeling her baby kick for the last two weeks. At twenty weeks gestation, the uterus is thin and soft, so the abortionists must be careful not to perforate or puncture the walls of the uterus. A second trimester dilation and evacuation abortion is a blind procedure. The baby can be in any orientation or position inside the uterus. The toughest part of the dilation and evacuation abortion is extracting the baby's head. The head of a baby is floats freely inside the uterine cavity. The skull pieces must then be extracted. Some abortionists have reported that on bad days, a little face may come out and stare back at you. Dilation and evacuation is the most common technique used for second trimester abortion. Typically done 13-16 weeks into pregnancy, doctors who specialize in abortion may use this technique into the 20th week of pregnancy. An anesthetic injection is administered to numb the cervix which makes the procedure less painful for the woman, but no anesthetic is administered to the unborn child. Dilating tools are used to stretch open the cervix wide enough to perform the abortion. The doctor uses forceps and other special tools to tear the fetus out of the uterus in pieces. A large vacuum tube is pushed into the uterus and to suction out any remaining pieces. The doctor will then examine the pieces to be sure that the abortion is complete. A D & E abortion is performed in the second trimester (12-24 weeks) and is usually a 2-3 day procedure. At this stage of pregnancy, the fetus' tendons, muscles, and bones are more developed. The cervix has closed more tightly and must be dilated enough to remove the larger fetus. To aid in cervical dilation, laminaria (dried seaweed sticks) are inserted into the cervix. The dilation process can take 1-2 days depending on the size of the fetus. Once the cervix is sufficiently dilated, the laminaria are removed. Forceps are inserted into the uterus to forcibly dismember the fetus. The skull is then crushed and removed. A suction aspiration is then introduced to remove any remaining fetal parts, the placenta and uterine lining. All abortions involve a degree of post-operative bleeding, which is to be expected. Incomplete abortion may occur if fetal tissue is left inside the uterus. Infection is a fairly common problem after an abortion. Although it is easily treated with antibiotics, the infection can result in impaired fertility. Cervical tearing can occur as a result of the dilating process, which may require stitches. A less common but more serious complication is perforation of the uterine wall; this could require surgical repair in a hospital, depending on the severity. In rare cases, abortion patients may experience a major complication, such as a life-threatening pelvic infection, hemorrhage requiring a blood transfusion, uterine rupture, or unintended major surgery. Long-term health risks may include increased risk of miscarriage for future pregnancies. Because late abortion is physically painful and often emotionally distressing, many women elect to have general anesthesia for the procedure. Potential anesthetic complications include severe hemorrhage, convulsion, cardiac arrest, and death. |
