Vacuum or suction aspiration is a procedure that uses a vacuum source to remove an embryo or fetus through the cervix. The procedure is performed to induce abortion, as a treatment for incomplete spontaneous abortion (otherwise commonly known as miscarriage) or retained fetal and placental tissue, or to obtain a sample of uterine lining (endometrial biopsy).[2][3] It is generally safe, and serious complications rarely occur.[4]
Some sources may use the terms dilation and evacuation[5] or "suction" dilation and curettage[6] to refer to vacuum aspiration, although those terms are normally used to refer to distinctly different procedures.
