ABSTRACT
The approach to management of abnormal pregnancies is important to master. The techniques of medical or surgical uterine evacuation are similar regardless of the indication for the procedure. The indications for uterine evacuation or pregnancy termination can be divided into four categories: elective/therapeutic, fetal indications (diagnosis of genetic/structural abnormalities), fetal demise (failure of development), maternal indications (e.g. Eisenmenger syndrome), or ectopic location of pregnancy.
