A scraping, usually of the interior of a cavity or tract, for removal of new growth or other abnormal tissue, or to obtain material for tissue diagnosis. It is performed with a curet (curette), a spoon-shaped instrument designed for that purpose. (From Stedman, 25th ed & Dorland, 27th ed)

" 08/01/1992 - "The most interesting therapeutic aspect of giant cell bone tumors is which patients can be cured without a risk of recurrence by intralesional surgery (curettage). " 07/01/1989 - "Concerning therapy, most bone tumors have been cured by operation (curettage, excision). " 03/03/2022 - "Tourniquet usage and controlling blood pressure might be beneficial for reducing local recurrence in patients scheduled to receive intralesional curettage for primary bone tumor treatment. " 01/01/2020 - "EC should be considered as the first-line treatment, unless the tumors severely invade the surrounding soft tissues or are accompanied by complex fractures with significant displacement leading to no surgical curettage boundary."
2.	Pain (Aches) 11/01/1990 - "Curettage was followed by complete relief from pain. " 09/01/2022 - "Cementation following the curettage of GCTB around the knee is associated with slight degeneration at medium-term follow-up and leads to a significant reduction in pain. " 01/01/2022 - "Patients with large or symptomatic lesions can be treated successfully with curettage and debridement, which leads to relief of pain.

3.	Hemorrhage 08/25/2020 - "Conclusion: Abdominal aortic balloon occlusion and UAE could effectively reduce intraoperative bleeding in uterine curettage for patients with CSP; abdominal aortic balloon occlusion has significant reduction of the X-ray dose, shorter hospitalization time, and fewer adverse events comparing to UAE. " 12/01/2010 - "This rare aetiology should be known by anaesthesiologists since treatment by arterial embolization is safe and effective whereas curettage usually recommended for primary post-partum haemorrhage can aggravate the bleeding. " 02/01/1993 - "In evaluating abnormal ovulatory bleeding, hysteroscopy with selected biopsy or curettage is superior to routine dilation and curettage. " 10/01/2020 - "Prophylactic UAE before curettage in patients with CSP is safe and effective in reducing intraoperative hemorrhage. " 01/01/2020 - "This study was designed to compare the diagnostic value of pipelle endometrial sampling and curettage in patients with postmenopausal bleeding. "
