Re: Got my pre-op info
Dont quote me, but thats probably just the physical aparatus they use.
nothing to worry about.
from the web:
•A D&C is seldom done as a lone procedure anymore. It is most frequently done as an adjunct procedureto a hysteroscopy and/or polypectomy. A D&C is often used for the following conditions...
ETA:
Hysteroscopy
A hysteroscopy is a way for your doctor to look at the lining of your uterus. He or she uses a thin viewing tool called a hysteroscope. The tip of the hysteroscope is put into your vagina and gently moved through the cervix into the uterus. The hysteroscope has a light and camera hooked to it so your doctor can see the lining (endometrium) on a video screen.

Re: Got my pre-op info
I had a hysteroscopy at my RE's office a few months after the D&E. I wasn't getting pregnant and was concerned it had something to do with my uterus.. maybe scar tissue or something the f'ed up at the time of the procedure!!
Anyway.. a hysteroscopy is a little camera that goes into the uterus. They probably did that after the D&C to make sure they got everything.  That's my guess anyway.

to be perfectly honest....I had a D&C and have NO IDEA if this was done along with it. So it seems they might not mention it at all.
If anything... just be glad they are being thorough with the D&C.
