Product Information

To find the final size of the Hegar dilator your child will use, see chart below. When Starting Dilatations, Your Child Is:

It’s really NBD and not exactly surprising given that your rectum is home to the stuff. Just clean the dilator, wash your hands thoroughly, and try again. If your child had a colostomy before this surgery, the colostomy may be closed when the goal size of the anus is reached. After the colostomy is closed, you will still need to dilate your child’s anus until the dilator goes in easily with no discomfort. This will likely be about 3-4 weeks after you get to the last size dilator. Diagnosis and treatment of CI: all 10 patients had a previous history of typical painless cervical dilation during the second trimester before surgery, and in 6 patients, the No. 7 Hegar dilator could pass through the internal cervical os before surgery without resistance. In the other 4 patients, the cervical dilator could not be inserted before surgery due to adhesions of the cervical canal and the lower uterine segment; the diagnoses of these patients were further confirmed 3 months after the HA when the No. 7 Hegar dilator was able to pass through the internal cervical os without resistance. There were 9 patients who underwent pre-pregnancy laparoscopic cervical cerclage after HA. The remaining 1 patient underwent laparoscopic cervical cerclage prior second HA, as the cervix was too loose to retain and be treated with an IUD or distended Foley’s catheter balloon ( Figures 1,2 ​ 1,2) ) which essentially prevent postoperative adhesion reformation. Ten patients underwent laparoscopic cervical cerclage with an intraoperative blood loss of 10–50 mL, with an average blood loss of 27±16.16 mL. A D&C may be performed in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding. However, with the advent of aspiration devices for endometrial biopsy and advances in ultrasound technology, the D&C is rarely the first step in the evaluation. D&C may also be used to manage abnormal uterine bleeding refractory to medical therapy. [3]

Preparation is key anytime you’re inserting anything in your butt. It can make or break your experience… and your anus. The procedure isinitiated by dilating the cervix with the smallest accommodating dilator; the dilator size is then sequentially increased. The dilator must pass through the external and internal os. Providers learn to identify this landmark with the loss of mild resistance under gentle pressure. The dilator should be held using only two fingers of the dominant hand,and forceshould not be excessive; excessive force may increase the risk of uterine perforation. The extent of dilation will be determined by the amount of tissue to be removed and the size of the chosen curette. After adequate dilation, the metal or plastic curette is inserted through the endocervical canal into the endometrial cavity and gently advanced to the uterine fundus. The dilatations may cause some discomfort for your child as you get closer to the last 2-3 sizes. You may feel that you want to stop dilating your child’s anus every day because of the slight discomfort, but it is very important to keep dilating two times a day.

If the dilation plan is not followed right, there is risk of scarring during the healing process. This can narrow the anus. If this happens, your child may need to have more surgery to correct the problem. Uterine sounds [ edit ] Uterine dilators of Hegar type, from diameters 4 mm (right) to 17 mm (left).If it goes in easily, you can start again, repeating these steps with the next size up in your kit. Every week, you will increase the size of the dilator, using the next larger size. Continue to dilate your child’s anus two times a day until you get to the goal size set by the doctor. Laminaria rods have also been used to open up the cervix but work slowly as they increase size by absorbing water. HL Dilators TM are lengthier compared to the Hegar dilators. This additional length is advantageous, especially when a subcoronal approach is preferred for penile prosthesis implantation. Due to the 25 cm length of the HL Dilators TM, even from a subcoronal corporotomy, the surgeon can dilate the corpus cavernosum down to the crus of penis in one single move and reliably measure the corpus. In most cases, the distance from the subcoronal corporotomy to the crus of penis is longer than the Hegar dilator’s length [ 5]. Hank dilators are structurally similar to Pratt dilators, but they are cuffed. Additionally, the taper from the tip to dilation is sharper than the Pratt dilator. Pratt dilators may increase the risk of uterine perforation; many operators use the cuff to stop the advancement of the dilator at the external cervical os. However, each cervix and uterine cavity is different.
