Study Of 11,914 women who underwent dilatation and curettage over a 7-year period (1995-2002) at Princess Badea Teaching Hospital in Irbid, North Jordan, 23 patients sustained a uterine perforation. In 22 cases, the operator was a trainee. Previous gynaecological surgery had been performed in only 2 of these 23 women. Conclusion: Operator inexperience seemed to be the only risk factor in this very common operation.
