Official Title: Value of Pelvic Ultrasonography and Colour Doppler in Diagnosing Retained Placental Fragments After Mid Trimester Miscarriage

Brief Summary: Value of pelvi- abdominal ultrasound and Doppler in diagnosis of retained products of conception after second trimester miscarriage to select who will benefit from surgical evacuations or conservative management.

Detailed Summary:

This is a study for diagnostic accuracy test where all patients will undergo US and Doppler examination after second trimester miscarriage. Then all patients with endometrial mass on US will undergo colour Doppler then surgical evacuation and results of histopathology will be recorded.

Now, pathological examination of suction evacuation products is considered the gold standard so sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of US and Doppler are the primary outcome

Current Primary Outcome: Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of Doppler in diagnosis of retained placental fragments after second trimester miscarriage [ Time Frame: 60 minutes after delivery ]

All patients with endometrial mass after spontineous or medical miscarriage will undergo colour Doppler examination within 1 hour of miscarriage


Original Primary Outcome: sensitivity, specificity of Ultrasound and Doppler in diagnosis of retained placental fragments after second trimester miscarriage [ Time Frame: 1 year ]

Current Secondary Outcome:
