AB  - AIM: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of modified electric 
      vacuum aspiration (mEVA) and sharp curettage (SC) for treatment of incomplete 
      abortion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted 
      between 1 March 2005 and 15 December 2009. Ninety-four women with incomplete 
      abortion were randomly allocated into two groups, group A (n = 47) underwent mEVA 
      and group B (n=47) underwent SC. The procedures were performed using the 
      paracervical block with 20 mL of lidocaine. Successful management and 
      complication were assessed. Successful management was defined as complete uterine 
      evacuation with no need for the second surgical procedure. RESULTS: There were 
      differences in women characteristics between groups. The successful rate of 
      management was 100% for both groups. However, the operative time and estimated 
      blood loss were less in the mEVA group than in the SC group. Severe pain was 
      significantly less prevalent in group A than group B. Suspected endometritis was 
      found in two (4.3%) patients in each group. CONCLUSIONS: The efficacy of mEVA was 
      the same as that of SC in successful management of incomplete abortion, but pain 
      was experienced more often in the SC group.
