Typical Clinical Scenarios

A 32-year-old woman at 10 weeks' gestation presents to the labor and delivery unit with incomplete spontaneous abortion and ongoing vaginal bleeding and cramping. The clinician performs external maneuvers to facilitate passage of the products of conception through the genital canal without entering the uterus or using instrumentation. An external approach is used to assist completion of the delivery of the products of conception in the inpatient setting. Typical codes: 10E0XZZ
A 28-year-old patient admitted for management of a missed abortion at 12 weeks desires conservative management; during observation she undergoes externally assisted maneuvers to encourage expulsion of retained products through the genital canal under inpatient monitoring. The procedure uses noninvasive external techniques rather than surgical intrauterine instrumentation to promote passage of the products of conception. Typical codes: 10E0XZZ
A 37-year-old woman with persistent spotting after an incomplete miscarriage demonstrates retained products on ultrasound and fails medical therapy; to avoid operative uterine instrumentation due to high anesthetic risk, clinicians attempt external maneuvers to assist passage of the remaining products of conception through the genital canal during her inpatient stay. The noninvasive external approach is used as an alternative to operative procedures given the patient's comorbidities. Typical codes: 10E0XZZ
