Suction Curettage
In this method, the Cervix is forcibly dilated; then a suction curette (tube) is inserted in the uterus and the suction is turned on.
Saline Injection
A needle is inserted into amniotic sac and four to five ounces of fluid are withdrawn.
Hysterotomy
If saline injection is ineffective or cannot be completed because of technical difficulty or reaction, abortion is accomplished by hysterotomy or ³miniature Caesarian section´.
In the Philippines this method is known as ³raspa´. The mouth of the womb is dilated; a spoon like object with sharp serrated edges is introduced to scrape the interior.
