Vacuum aspiration lasts up to 5 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. It does not injure the cervix, causes minimal damage to the mucous membrane of the organ.
Scraping is done with a curette – a surgical spoon. The procedure is more traumatic than vacuum aspiration. Lasts 15-20 minutes. Menstrual function after surgery is restored after 40 days.
