It is done on an outputpatient basis with a local anesthetic. The procedure itself takes only about 10 minutes, and the woman stays in the doctor's office, clinic, or hospital for a few hours. The woman is prepared as she would be for a pelvic exam, and an instrument is inserted into the vagina; the instrument dilates (stretches open) the opening of the cervix. A tube is then inserted into this opening until one end is in the uterus. The other end is attached to a suction-producing apparatus, and the contents of the uterus, including the fetal tissue, are sucked out. Vacuum aspiration has become the most common method of early (first trimester) abortion because it is simple and entails little risk. There are rare risks of uterine perforation, infection, hemorhaging, and failure to remove all the fetal material. |
