The epidemiology and management of patients with hydatidiform mole.

The epidemiology, clinical features and method of evacuating the uterus were reviewed in 30 patients with hydatidiform mole. The incidence was greatest in patients with blood group O and among young East Indians. There was no seasonal variation nor was there any progression to choriocarcinoma. Only one partial mole and one invasive mole were encountered. Evacuation was achieved chiefly by suction curettage and concomitant augmentation with a Syntocinon infusion.
