Is D&C Major Surgery?

Published in Medical Procedures 1 min read

No, a D&C (dilation and curettage) is considered a minor surgery.

According to the provided reference, a D&C procedure:

  • Is typically done on an outpatient basis, allowing you to go home the same day.
  • May be performed in a doctor's office, surgery center, hospital, or clinic.
  • Involves receiving an IV for fluids and medicines.

Because of these factors, a D&C does not meet the criteria for major surgery.
