Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception (ERPC)
Evacuation of Retained Products of Conception (ERPC) is a minor surgical procedure performed after an incomplete miscarriage. It ensures that the uterus is cleared of any remaining pregnancy tissue to prevent bleeding, infection, and emotional distress.
