What to Expect During a Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) Procedure

The Step-by-Step Process
- Pre-Procedure Consultation: On your first visit, you’ll meet your Patient Care Guide, discuss your medical history, and have an ultrasound. Your physician will explain the D&E process and answer your questions in depth.
- Cervical Preparation: Medications or gentle dilators will be used to gradually open the cervix overnight. This is essential for a safe, comfortable procedure.
- Procedure Day: On the second day, the physician completes the evacuation in a private, supportive setting. Sedation and pain control options are fully discussed and tailored to your needs.
- Recovery and Support: After the procedure, you’ll rest in a quiet room with our caring staff monitoring your recovery. Clear instructions and follow-up resources are provided.
Most patients return home the same day. Our team will help you plan for post-procedure care, whether you’re returning to Brookhaven or staying locally overnight.
