Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound-guided manual vacuum aspiration (USG-MVA) proves to be a safe and effective outpatient option for treating early pregnancy loss, compared to electric vacuum aspiration (EVA).
- In a study with 292 women, those who underwent EVA showed a significantly higher incidence of intrauterine adhesion (IUA), implying that USG-MVA may pose lower risks of complications.
- Follow-up results indicated no significant differences in reproductive outcomes between the two methods, with fewer women experiencing hypomenorrhea after USG-MVA.
Objective: The culture failure rate of conventional karyotyping in products of conception evacuated from early pregnancy loss by traditional electrical vacuum aspiration and/or dilation & curettage remains high. We aim to determine whether obtaining products of conception from early pregnancy loss via another evacuation approach, ultrasound-guided manual vacuum aspiration, could decrease the culture failure rate of karyotyping.
Methods: For patients with early pregnancy loss, ultrasound-guided manual vacuum aspiration (Case group) and traditional electrical vacuum aspiration and/or dilation & curettage (Control group) were applied as surgical methods for pregnancy loss management respectively.
