Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Gynecologic Procedures

Background:

  • First-trimester abortion practices are evolving.
  • Evidence supports updates in antibiotic prophylaxis, cervical ripening, and aspiration techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current recommendations for first-trimester abortion procedures.
  • To detail techniques for manual and electric vacuum aspiration before 14 weeks' gestation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of emerging data and established techniques.
  • Discussion of vacuum aspiration procedures (manual and electric).
  • Inclusion of early, difficult abortions, complications, and contraception.

Main Results:

  • Updated practices in antibiotic prophylaxis, cervical ripening, and pain management are supported.
  • Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) and electric vacuum aspiration (EVA) techniques are detailed.
  • Management strategies for complications and postabortal contraception are addressed.

Conclusions:

  • Current evidence supports revised approaches to first-trimester abortion care.
  • Techniques for vacuum aspiration are applicable to both abortion and miscarriage management.
  • Comprehensive management includes complication handling and contraception.
