Camera-Guided surgery vs suction: which clears miscarriage faster?
NCT ID NCT07088510
First seen Sep 11, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026
Summary
Early pregnancy loss, a miscarriage in the first trimester, affects about 10% of pregnancies. Surgery is the most effective treatment, but doctors are unsure which surgical method works best. This trial compares hysteroscopic resection, which uses a camera to see and remove tissue directly, with manual vacuum aspiration, which suctions tissue out with ultrasound guidance. Researchers will measure how quickly pregnancy hormone levels drop and check for scar tissue, bleeding, and other complications in 80 adult women.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hysteroscopic resection and manual vacuum aspiration, two surgical procedures to remove pregnancy tissue
- What this could lead to
- If hysteroscopic resection works better, doctors could offer a surgical option that clears the uterus faster and leaves less scar tissue, which may help patients start fertility treatment sooner.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small trial of 80 people at one medical center, so the results may not apply everywhere. Both procedures carry risks like bleeding, infection, or incomplete removal, and hysteroscopy requires specialized equipment and training.
