title: [Influence of the kind of anesthesia and length of hospitalization on the frequency of early complications of abortion].
abstract: A case-control study of the safety of early vacuum aspiration, when performed as an outpatient/inpatient procedure in local/general anaesthesia was undertaken in Ljubljana. Three thousand and four healthy women were observed. General anaesthesia was applied to 1509 women and local to 1495 women. The inpatient procedure required at least overnight stay, the outpatient one only five hours. No differences in complication rates of any clinical importance between the different types of services and anaesthesia were observed. The overnight stay resulted in no decrease in complications but in an even greater bed occupancy beyond that expected.
