About this work
Description
Fourth in a five-part series about once popular surgery now more rarely performed. This part is about dilatation and curettage (scraping the lining of the womb) which was routinely performed before the 1970's when its effectiveness began to be questioned. However it was not until the 1990's that its use actively declined.
