Is there harm if embryonic villous tissue is not scraped out during a procedure?

Patient's question:

Menstruation stopped for 46 days. hCG (+). During the induced abortion procedure, embryonic villous tissue was not scraped out. Decidual tissue was scraped out and sent for pathology examination. Under the microscope: decidual tissue and trophoblast cells. Could choriocarcinoma be considered as a possibility?

Doctor's answer:

There are two situations: one is when the scraping material is confirmed to have no fur, suggesting ectopic pregnancy; the other is if the ultrasound shows the gestational sac accurately, considering the possibility of incomplete scraping. If there is no abdominal pain, it is recommended to check the examination results and undergo a follow-up ultrasound. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any method of induced abortion will have some impact on the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their own diet. Patients undergoing induced abortion should take care of themselves, such as adjusting their diet, keeping warm, and avoiding catching a cold.
