surgical abortion
Procedure ending pregnancy
Surgical abortion is the termination of a pregnancy through a medical procedure rather than medication.
Common methods include vacuum aspiration and dilation and curettage (D&C), where the contents of the uterus are removed through suction or instruments.
The term distinguishes these procedures from medical abortion, which uses drugs to end a pregnancy: She opted for a surgical abortion rather than the pill.
