Objective: To compare the efficacy of manual vacuum aspiration with dilatation and curettage in first trimester miscarriages. Study Design: Randomized control trial. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit “A”, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar. Patients were received through OPD and Emergency during the six months i.e from 1st Jan, 2015 till 30th June, 2015. Methodology: Women admitted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Unit “A”, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were included in the study by consecutive non probability sampling with random allocation by dividing them into two groups through lottery method. Patients in group A were treated by dilatation and curettage while the patients in group B were evacuated by manual vacuum aspiration. After the randomly allocated method of evacuation, the efficacy of the procedure was determined in terms of need for the evacuation by presence of retained products of conception on ultrasound done by specialist. Results: No substantial difference was found between patients subjected to D&C and to those subjected to MVA. Conclusion: MVA is as effective as D&C for the treatment of miscarriage. Keywords: Miscarriage, Abortion, Dilatation & Curettage, Manual Vacuum Aspiration, Retained products of conception.

Subinvolution of placental sites (SPSs) is a rare but severe cause of secondary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH). SPS is characterised by the abnormal persistence of large, dilated, superficially modified spiral arteries in the absence of retained products of conception. It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality of young women. In this study, we present a case of secondary PPH in a young woman after uncomplicated caesarean delivery who was deemed clinically unstable, and finally, underwent emergent total abdominal hysterectomy. We reviewed the literature with an emphasis on the pathophysiology of this situation. Treatment of patients with SPS includes conservative medical therapy, hysterectomy and fertility-sparing percutaneous embolotherapy.

The concept of intrauterine neo-vascular lesions after pregnancy, initially called placental polyps, has changed gradually. Now, based on diagnostic imaging, such lesions are defined as retained products of conception (RPOC) with vascularization. The lesions appear after delivery or miscarriage, and they are accompanied by frequent abundant vascularization in the myometrium attached to the remnant. Many of these vascular lesions have been reported to resolve spontaneously within a few months. Acquired arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) must be considered in the differential diagnosis of RPOC with vascularization. AVMs are errors of morphogenesis. The lesions start to be constructed at the time of placenta formation. These lesions do not show spontaneous regression. Although these two lesions are recognized as neo-vascular lesions, neo-vascular lesions on imaging may represent conditions other than these two lesions (e.g., peritrophoblastic flow, uterine artery pseudoaneurysm, and villous-derived malignancies). Detecting vasculature at the placenta–myometrium interface and classifying vascular diseases according to hemodynamics in the remnant would facilitate the development of specific treatments.
