Abstract
The latest method of interruption of pregnancy by the vacuum aspiration method is described. A report is made on a total number of 517 patients in whom the procedure was carried out. In one group of 302 cases the method was applied after artificial dilatation of the cervical canal under a short period of anesthesia. In the second group of 215 patients the method was applied without artificial dilatation of the cervical canal and without any anesthetic. A group of an additional 286 cases in whom the pregnancy was interrupted in the conventional manner by means of abortion forceps and curettage was observed as controls. The vacuum aspiration method has proved to have the following advantages: less loss of blood, shorter duration of the procedure, less pain, and fewer and milder early or late complications. The possibility of avoiding the artificial dilatation of the cervical canal is described.
