Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecology
  • Obstetrics

Context:

  • First trimester miscarriages affect 15-20% of pregnancies, representing a leading cause of gynecological emergencies.
  • Traditional management relies on surgical evacuation to prevent hemorrhage and infection, or for immediate pregnancy termination.
  • Recent advancements propose expectant management and medical treatment with misoprostol as alternatives to surgical intervention.

Purpose:

  • To comprehensively review French and English literature on the management of first trimester miscarriage.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of alternative miscarriage management strategies.

Summary:

  • Surgical evacuation remains the standard treatment for first trimester miscarriages.
  • Expectant management can avoid curettage in incomplete miscarriages without increasing complications or bleeding duration.

  • Vaginal misoprostol achieves complete expulsion in 70-90% of missed pregnancies with no increased complication rates.

    • Impact:

    • Offers informed patients viable alternatives to surgical miscarriage treatment.
    • Highlights the need for large randomized studies to definitively assess the benefits and risks of non-surgical approaches.
    • Aims to improve patient satisfaction while reducing complications and costs associated with surgical interventions.
