Interventions
ultrasound-guided manual vacuum aspiration (USG- MVA)
USG-MVA was carried out as an outpatient day procedure. Women was given a 400μg oral misoprostol tablet 2-3 hours before the procedure. All patients will be given 500mg naproxen orally an hour before the procedure. During the USG-MVA, all the women were placed in the lithotomy position and aseptically dressed. Speculum was performed to visualize the cervix with PCB performed. USG-MVA was performed using a 60ml charged syringe with a flexible curetteattached to it. Transabdominal USG during MVA was performed. During the procedure, local lidocaine gelwas applied to the cervical canal and over the end of the MVA catheter tip during the insertion.The USG-MVA was stopped as soon as USG confirmed that the uterine cavity was empty, defined as a thin endometrial lining with no evidence of retained products of conception.
