[Target removal of the elements of fertilized ovum in "mini-abortion"]

A target removal of a fetal ovum was performed in early pregnancy with delayed menstruation (up to 20 days) by employing a hysteroscope in 87 females. As compared with the transabdominal method of ultrasound diagnosis for early pregnancy, the hysteroscopic assessment of the fetal ovum proved to be more informative with delayed menstruation (from 5 to 15 days). Target aspiration increases the efficiency of pregnancy interruption and repeated hysteroscopic monitoring makes it possible to avoid complications as delay of fetal ovum elements.
