Overview

All women admitted for surgical evacuation of missed abortion after failure of medical treatment from June 2016 underwent transvaginal sonography immediately after completion of the procedure as judged by the operator to ensure absence of remnants.

Women indicated for surgical evacuation of missed abortion up to 12 weeks were included.
