Medical Malpractice At the beginning of the procedure, a harmless gas or fluid will be introduced into the uterus, causing it to expand. By inflating the uterus slightly, your doctor is better able to reach the operative site. Next, a wire loop is inserted.

The gas or fluid is allowed to escape … and the uterus returns to its normal shape. Medical Malpractice and Patient Education Company
