Miscarriage care showdown: camera surgery vs suction – which works better?
NCT ID NCT05789940
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical techniques for removing tissue left behind after an early miscarriage: hysteroscopy (using a tiny camera to see and remove tissue) and endouterine aspiration (a suction method). About 220 women will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The main goal is to see which method more completely clears the uterus, as measured by ultrasound six weeks later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hysteroscopy (a surgical procedure using a camera to view and remove tissue) and endouterine aspiration (a suction procedure to remove tissue)
- What this could lead to
- If this trial succeeds, it could provide clear evidence on which surgical method is better for removing retained tissue after a miscarriage, potentially reducing complications and the need for repeat procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (220 participants) comparing two established procedures, so it may not produce definitive results. Differences in surgeon skill or patient factors could also affect outcomes.
