(IMC). Any miscarriage before all miscarriage tissue has been expelled. Traditionally a uterine curettage was done after a miscarriage, in the belief (often accurate) that there would still be some immature pregnancy tissue left in the uterus that could cause more bleeding and get infected. Nowadays we can distinguish an incomplete from a complete miscarriage (and whether or not a curettage should be done) with a transvaginal ultrasound, which is able to reveal significant retained tissue. Management is similar to the management of an inevitable miscarriage (and both are abbreviated IMC)
