surgical abortion
Surgical abortion involves a minor operation. There are two types of surgical abortion: Vacuum aspiration can be done with local anaesthetic, sedation or general anaesthetic: Removes the pregnancy by gentle suction. Up to 14 weeks, this can be done with local anaesthetic. The quicker recovery time for this procedure means you can leave the clinic unattended and drive sooner. Up to 15 weeks this can be done with sedation (relaxed and sleepy) or under general anaesthetic. Dilatation and Evacuation – between 15 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. Carried out under general anaesthetic. The pregnancy is removed using narrow forceps through the neck of the womb (cervix). You will need cervical preparation on the day of surgery or possibly the day before.
