Done after 14 weeks: It is a procedure where the contents of the uterus are removed after 14 weeks. It would be done if someone were having a termination or if someone had a miscarriage after 14 weeks.

Surgical procedure: A d&e stands for dilation and evacuation. It is a procedure done in an operating room to remove pregnancy tissue from the uterus after the first trimester. In the first trimester it is called a D&C (dilation and curettage). This can be to treat a late miscarriage or bleeding placenta previa, or as an elective procedure.
