Abstract
Uterine perforation rarely complicates a first trimester surgical abortion, but perforation resulting in vascular or intraabdominal organ damage may require surgical intervention. The index of suspicion for uterine perforation needs to remain high when a patient presents with abdominal/pelvic pain after an abortion, as the sonographic appearance of the uterus can be variable over time.Entities:
