The curettage by endouterine manual aspiration (EMA) is considered as an adequate surgical method for the management of the incomplete abortion and the missed abortion with age lower to twelve weeks, also for the endometrial biopsy. It is a safe, inexpensive, effective and ambulatory procedure carried out with paracervical-Block Anesthesia. It has good tolerance and adequate acceptability in the patients. The aim is to present basic aspects of EMA and to indicate general technical and scientific guidelines, which are necessary to know the appropriate and qualified execution of the procedure. It is an important therapeutic strategy, which is being proposed as the replacement of the instrumental uterine curettage as much for developed as for developing countries. Rev.
