Transvaginal ultrasound and operative hysteroscopy in women undergoing medical termination of pregnancy as a part of routine follow-up.
Follow-up of the first cohort of 191 patients who underwent medical abortion in a tertiary medical center included postmenstruation transvaginal sonography (TVS), even in asymptomatic patients. Suspected products of gestation by TVS were found in 3.7% of the asymptomatic women, and residual products of gestation were diagnosed by hysteroscopy in 85.7% of such cases.
