Objective: To acknowledge the effectiveness and safety of MVA compare with SC in management of incomplete abortion below 12 weeks of gestation which compare time to perform procedure, rates of evacuation and infection one week after procedure, and complication during MVA and SC procedure Methods: A prospective study with 62 subjects with complain incomplete abortion came to ER at RSCM, RS Fatmawati and RS Karawang, divided into 31 subjects on MVA group and 31 subjects on SC  group. The data was documented on the time of MVA procedure compare to SC, clinical findings on complication during procedure, completed evacuation and infection symptoms one week after procedure. Results: Sixty two subjects (31 each group) with average time of procedure was 17,65 ± 4,128 minutes and  SC was 22,26 ± 4,611 minutes with p = 0,00 and 95% CI; -4,513(-6,837 to -2,389 with significant statistically difference. The comparison of completed evacuation one week after procedure was 3,2% (n = 1) on MVA and 6,5% (n = 2) on SC with clinical findings, and p = 0,554, RR = 1,034 and 95% CI 0,924 – 1,158 with no statistically difference. On the other comparison, we didn’t find any infection symptoms one week after procedure and complication during procedure on both of procedures. Conclusion: MVA has more effective than SC on the time of procedure in incomplete abortion with below 12 weeks of gestation. MVA has superiority from completed evacuation but no statistically difference and has equal safety to SC on clinical infection symptoms and complication during procedure.

Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of Misoprostol administered vaginally to assist complete evacuation in early pregnancy losses (incomplete abortion, missed abortion and blighted ovum). Methods: It is a descriptive study conducted in the Department of Ob/Gyn and Emergency Department Tribhuvan University Teaching hospital. All women with clinical/USG diagnosis of incomplete abortion, missed abortion and blighted ovum ≤12 weeks POG either from last menstrual period (LMP) or USG were inserted tab. misoprostol 800 mcg in the posterior fornix. Same dose was repeated when the evacuation was incomplete on day 3 of follow-up. Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) was offered on day 14 if evacuation was incomplete or any complications like excessive bleeding/severe pain occurred during this period. Results: A hundred and thirty three women with incomplete/missed/blighted ovum were reported, of which 112 (84.3%) were analyzed as 21(15.7%) lost to follow up. Among the 112, 51 (45.5%) were incomplete abortion, 34(30.3%) blighted and 27 (24.1%) missed abortion. Complete evacuation was achieved in 98/112 (87.5%) cases [73 (65%) cases with single dose & 25(22.3%) with double doses]. Evacuation was failed in 14(12.5%) cases [incomplete abortion 6 (42%), blighted 7 (50%) & missed abortion 1 (7.1%)]. Failure for complete evacuation (n=14) related to gestational age: 10-12 weeks 9/14(64%), 7-9 weeks 5 (35%) and none in the ≤6 weeks. Although the plan was to evacuate on day 14 of follow-up for incomplete evacuation which was applicable only in 11(78.5%) cases, 3(21.5%) cases were surgically (MVA) treated beforehand (2 for excessive bleeding, 1 for severe pain). No severe complications and side effects requiring treatment were observed. Conclusions: Vaginal Misoprostol is proved to be effective and safe in cases of incomplete abortion, missed abortion and blighted ovum. In the cases that failed to achieve complete evacuation by medical means using misoprostol were subjected to surgical manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) on day 14 of follow-up.

Objectives: To determine the safety and effectiveness of manual vacuumaspiration (MVA) in treating first trimester pregnancy loss. Place & duration of study: Departmentof Gynecology, Shahina Jamil Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad, Pakistan, from September2013 to December 2014. Study design: Descriptive cross-sectional study. Materials andmethods: All the patients who were less than 12 weeks of gestation and diagnosed with missedabortion, incomplete abortion, having retained products of conception after normal deliveryand anembryonic pregnancy were included in the study. Diagnosis was made on the basis ofhistory, physical examination and ultrasonography. Urine pregnancy test and β-HCG were donein selected patients. Last menstrual period and USG were used to determine the gestationalage. Manual vacuum aspiration was carried out under Para cervical block using “Ipas EasyGrip” cannula with a 60ml syringe attached to it to create a negative pressure. Completenessof the procedure was determined and products of conception were sent for histopathologicalexamination. Results: There were 165 patients enrolled in this study. All study subjects weremarried. Mean age of the patients was 27.60± 4.86 years. Fifty patients had a previous historyof abortion. Mean parity was 2.98± 2.22 and mean gestational age was 8.23±1.6 weeks.The maximum number of patients, 80%, belonged to age group of 20-30 years. There were37 patients who were presented with first pregnancy. The number of multigravida and grandmultigravida patients were equal, 64 cases in each group. The main reason for undergoingMVA in our study subjects was missed and incomplete abortion followed by retained productsof conception and anembryonic pregnancy. Conclusion: MVA is a preferred mode of treatingfirst trimester pregnancy loss as it is a simple, safe and cost-effective procedure. MVA should beused preferentially in rural areas where there is a limited access to health care facilities, powerout-breaks are common and advanced medical equipment is not available.

Background: Nepal government has legalized abortion and approved both medical abortion and manual vacuum aspiration for first trimester pregnancy. However, there is inadequate evidence in our setup to comment on the acceptability and complications of medical abortion and manual vacuum aspiration for termination of pregnancy up to nine weeks of gestation. The objective of this study is to compare the reasons for termination of pregnancy, effectiveness and complications between medical abortion and manual vacuum aspiration in termination of pregnancy up to nine weeks.Methods: A comparative study was conducted among women requesting termination of pregnancy up to nine weeks of gestation in Comprehensive Abortion Care unit of Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital. Women were kept in medical abortion and manual vacuum aspiration groups after they chose the method. They were advised for follow up in two weeks. Reasons for termination, effectiveness and complications of medical abortion and manual vacuum aspiration were compared using Chi square test.Results: In a total of 160 women, the most common reason for termination of pregnancy was completion of the family. In manual vacuum aspiration group 43 (58.9%) women had minimal per vaginal bleeding while 30 (40.54%) women in medical abortion group had per vaginal bleeding for 6-10 days (p <0.001). Rate of complete abortion in medical abortion group was 85.14% (n=63) and in manual vacuum aspiration group was 93.15% (n=68). Conclusions: The complications following medical abortion were higher than manual vacuum aspiration in termination of pregnancy up to nine weeks. Rate of completeness of abortion following manual vacuum aspiration is superior over medical abortion.Keywords: Manual vacuum aspiration; Medical abortion; Termination of pregnancy
