English translation: abdominal fundus examination

German term or phrase: abd. Funduskontrolle
In a German medical report, a curettage was performed after childbirth because intrauterine placental remnants were suspected. This line is within the surgical report:

"Eingehen mit der Bumm'schen Kürette in das Cavum uteri und Kürettage bis zum allseits glatten Wandgefühl under abd. Funduskontrolle。“

I am not sure how to translate the last two words. For "abd.", "abdominal" and "abductor" are two possibilities, or it could be something else.

Appreciate any help!

Explanation:

There aren’t tonnes of hits for this…

When the obstetric physician arrives to examine the patient, there is no palpable abdominal fundus

agree  Anne Schulz: Fundus palpation might work as well ("Kontrolle" is probably more like holding the uterine fundus)

examination of the gastric fundus


Explanation:
I think it's the fundus of the stomach that is meant here

neutral  Stuart and Aida Nelson: I don't think this is right at all! There's a fundus of the uterus situated at the level of the abdomen / No worries Tanja. It's good to have some doctors here to help us. https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/rlos/midwifery/ab...

monitoring of the abdominal fundus (of the uterus)


Explanation:

Under monitoring of the abdominal fundus of the uterus

The curet should be held by the entire hand for a firm grip during the “backstroke” coming out of the uterine cavity, but should be inserted gently to allow palpation of the fundus of the uterus

https://www.glowm.com/section_view/heading/dilatation-and-cu...

Here, you can see that the fundus is at the level of the abdomen:

To measure the symphysis fundal distance the midwife should place a tape measure at the highest point of the fundus and measure downwards to the upper border of the symphysis pubis (not the pubic hair line

https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/nursing/sonet/rlos/midwifery/ab...

Abdominal (fundus of uterus)

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/321382745_Abdominal...

The fundus of the uterus is the top portion, opposite from the cervix. Fundal height, measured from the top of the pubic bone, is routinely measured in pregnancy to determine growth rates.

And maybe as the Doctors here have suggested and I have also highlighted in my answer this should be:

under palpation of the uterine fundus situated at the abdominal level

Cheers, I hope this helps :)
