Who is responsible for not cleaning it up properly during the review?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a follow-up check after an induced abortion, and the doctor said it wasn't cleaned properly and I needed to have a uterine curettage. However, I had to pay for the curettage myself. You see, this doctor isn't responsible for not cleaning it properly.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the induced abortion certificate indicates a larger fetus, there is a possibility of residual tissue. Poor uterine contractions after surgery can also make it difficult to expel the contents of the uterine cavity. Therefore, a follow-up examination is necessary after an induced abortion. If residual tissue is found, a second procedure (clearing the uterine cavity) is required.
Before the surgery, a surgical consent form is signed, which includes these postoperative reactions, and the doctor explains them before the procedure. Moreover, everyone has a different physical constitution and tolerance level.
