An early abortion is an abortion performed in the first trimester of pregnancy up to 11weeks and 6days of pregnancy.
At Oak Clinic, no painful pretreatment is required, and the surgery method uses the suction method, and you can go home about 3hours after coming to the hospital (1day course).
For the cervix (entrance of the uterus) to be opened without difficulty at the time of the abortion surgery, there will be a pretreatment of inserting a Laminaria (or Lamicel) stick* into the cervix.
There is a course that the pretreatment can be carried out the day before the surgery and there is a course that the pretreatment can be carried out the day of the surgery.
*Laminaria stick, Lamicel stick
It is a thin rod. It absorbs the moisture and gradually expands, widening the cervix.
At our clinic, for the abortion of fetuses less than 12weeks old, in principle will be performed by the suction method, the contents of the uterus being mechanically removed.
The actual time of the abortion surgery is about 15minutes.
Because of the intravenous anesthesia you will be in an unconscious state, and the surgery will finish while you are asleep.
We are using the type of anesthesia that even people with asthma may take.
The cervix softened by the Laminaria (or Lamicel) stick will go on to expand slowly in addition with the Hegar* dilator.
*Hegar
This is an appliance that dilates the cervix.
They are used in order from small to large, gradually extending the uterus.
A nozzle very similar to that of a vacuum cleaner is inserted into the uterus and the uterine contents such as the inner membrane and fetus are sucked out.
We will check for any remaining residues in the uterus.
