New experience with uterine vacuum aspiration

Uterine evacuation by vacuum aspiration was carried out in Shatby Maternity Hospital for 1005 cases of therapeutic, inevitable, incomplete, septic and missed abortion and hydatidiform mole. The operation was performed without anaesthesia in most of the cases. Paracervical block was needed in those cases requiring cervival dilatation by means of "vibrodilator". Curettage was done after vacuum aspiration to delect incomplete evacuation "failure of method". The patients are discharged on the next day
