Serum Β-HCG Level In Women Diagnosed With Retained Products Of Conception: A Prospective Cohort Study

Retained products of conception (RPOC) may occur following delivery or abortion, often necessitating operative hysteroscopy for their removal. A preoperative diagnosis of RPOC by ultrasonography is not always accurate and may lead to unnecessary surgical procedures. We sought to evaluate whether serum level of β-human-chorionic-gonadotropin (β-HCG) may aid in the preoperative diagnosis of RPOC.
