Hello Gloria
Thanks for your query.
RPOC means retained products of conception which means the tissues that sometimes get left behind after surgical abortion.
In case the RPOC measure more than 15 mm, then a repeat D and C would be required.
However, in your case the RPOC is minimal.
Your doctor would ideally try to get rid of this by antibiotics and supportive medication.
A review scan after a few days would show if the RPOC is persistent, then you might need a repeat D and C
take care.
