Combined clinical and ultrasonographic work-up for the diagnosis of retained products of conception.
Retained products of conception (RPOC) present a major clinical challenge. We assessed the accuracy of an evaluation protocol based on clinical management and transvaginal ultrasonographic evaluation for the detection of retained products of conception. This combined clinical and sonographic evaluation protocol offers a high sensitivity for the accurate diagnosis of RPOC.
