Abstract
A prospective study was carried out based on 117 first trimester legally induced abortions. Abdominal ultrasound examination was performed immediately after aspiration. The predictive value of an empty uterus at ultrasound examination was 97.3%. The rate of retained tissue was not reduced compared to studies where peroperative ultrasound was not used.
