Sonographic evaluation of retained products of conception within 48 h following delivery: a retrospective cohort study
Postpartum transabdominal ultrasonography within 48 h of delivery was effective for assessing RPOC. For appropriate triage, color Doppler grading increased the accuracy of RPOC diagnosis. Misoprostol treatment was successful in 88% of women with suspected sonographic RPOC. The combination of sonographic evaluation and misoprostol treatment for suspected RPOC might lower the rate of unnecessary invasive procedures.
