Hello,
Thanks for your query.
This is not considered medical malpractice, because adhesion formation is a known complication of any D and C procedure.
D and C results in scraping off of the lining of the uterus, and the bare layers can definitely stick together resulting in adhesions and scar tissues.
One word though, apart from your question - scar tissue from a previous tissue, is best removed by a hysteroscopically guided procedure under direct vision, thereby reducing the risk of further complications.
Take care.
Feel free to discuss further.
