English term or phrase: 360-degree sweep of cervix

only "context" that I have is that these terms are listed under "procedure carried out" or "procedure not carried out" From my googling I came from my first assumption of the sample taking (swab) to induction of labor through sweeping the membranes from the cervix, but although I found descriptions I am still not sure how this is done (I found 50 different possibilities of translations for sweep, but just can' t really make sense out of it, NOR find a German translation)

German translation:Hysterotomie

Explanation:
According to some articles, the cervical sweeping and stretching (3410 Google hits) is largely replaced by treatment with Sulpostron (a prostaglandin E2 derivative). If you follow this lead you will find that this treatment does the same as a cervical sweep.

Stretching of the membranes near the cervical os can lead to the release of prostaglandins and thus start contractions (often fading out without result).

Explanation:
A sweep is usually a visual of an area in this context, so I would translate it as a "360 Grad Uebersicht". Hope this helps
