  • Title: [Abortion by means of suction curettage compared to the conventional metal curettage].
    Author: Schweppe KW, Wagner H, Beller FK.
    Journal: Med Welt; 1980 Mar 28; 31(13):479-83. PubMed ID: 7382809.
    Abstract:
    47 women in the first trimester of pregnancy underwent induced abortion, 23 by vacuum aspiration and 24 by classical dilatation and curettage. All operations were performed under nearly identical conditions. In 5 cases in each group, a hysteroscopy was performed. Both techniques evacuated the uterus sufficiently. Vacuum aspiration is quicker, simpler, and requires dilatation only to Hegar 8. Less blood is lost during vacuum aspiration, and a more thorough evacuation of the uterus with less endometrial trauma is effected. Vacuum aspiration is recommended for induced abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy.
