Abortion surgery is usually performed through two different approaches and is dependent on the stage of pregnancy. Your gynecologist will conduct a sonogram in order to determine the type of procedure to be followed which could be either through aspiration or dilation and evacuation.
Aspiration is also known as suction aspiration, suction curettage, or vacuum aspiration is performed within six to sixteen weeks of gestation.
Dilation and Evacuation is a procedure performed after six to sixteen weeks of gestation.
