Gentle Touch® Manual Vacuum Aspiration Procedure
A minor surgical option to terminate an early pregnancy up to 9 weeks
Our physicians are highly skilled in this specialized procedure that is not available in most facilities. Physicians performing this specialized procedure require the highest levels of expertise and training.
This procedure is often referred to as non-surgical, as it requires no scraping and no vacuum aspiration via machine.
The Gentle Touch® Manual Vacuum Aspiration Procedure is completed in a private examination room or procedure room.
- Procedure takes only about 5 minutes
- For your comfort and safety during this procedure, we offer deep sedation administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist
- Doctor gently stretches the natural opening of your cervix with small dilators
- The doctor inserts a thin tube called a cannula.
- Doctor attaches a handheld device to the cannula and applies gentle pressure for approximately two minutes.
Gentle Touch® vs. Traditional Surgical Abortion
- No scraping of the uterus
- No electric suction via suction machine
- Less instrumentation
- Patients report less postoperative cramping and bleeding
Dilation and Curettage (D&C) Procedure
A surgical procedure used to terminate a pregnancy through 17.6 weeks of gestation
NOTE: For all patients electing to receive anesthesia services it is very important not to have anything to eat or drink for at least 8 hours before your appointment time.
All patients must bring a support person to escort them home once they have been discharged from the facility. Asleep abortion in NJ is a safe, comfortable option.
Garden State Gynecology is accredited by the Quad A for general anesthesia, deep sedation (“asleep”) and conscious sedation (“twilight”).
We offer full anesthesia services (painless abortion in New Jersey) provided by a board-certified anesthesiologist. This will allow you to be completely asleep and comfortable.
Other providers may offer “sedation services,” but this is not comparable to full anesthesia. Nor does it provide the safety and comfort that full anesthesia, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, can offer.
For those patients who do not wish to receive anesthesia or sedation, we offer a surgical procedure with local anesthetic in which the surgical area is numbed while the patient is awake.
Surgical abortion services are performed by gently opening the cervical canal to allow for a very brief aspiration of the uterus.
- Rest comfortably in recovery area until you’re ready to be discharged
- Monitored by our nursing staff
- Given a light snack and drink
- Written post-operative instructions will be reviewed and given to you prior to being discharged
