1.	Hyperhidrosis 01/01/2006 - "Tumescent suction curettage is a safe and effective treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis resulting in a high level of patient satisfaction. " 05/01/2008 - "As shown by this study, minor skin resection with subcutaneous curettage of axillary sweat glands (Method A) is somewhat more effective in permanent reduction of hyperhidrosis than suction curettage. " 09/01/2008 - "Long-term efficacy of subcutaneous sweat gland suction curettage for axillary hyperhidrosis: a prospective gravimetrically controlled study." 03/01/2014 - "The main purpose of this study was to compare the effect of the 2 minimally invasive surgical techniques for treating axillary hyperhidrosis: superficial tumescent suction curettage and curettage only. " 06/01/2006 - "Surgical treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis: a study comparing liposuction cannulas with a suction-curettage cannula."
2.	Incomplete Abortion 04/01/2012 - "The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of modified electric vacuum aspiration (mEVA) and sharp curettage (SC) for treatment of incomplete abortion. " 04/01/2012 - "Comparison of efficacy of modified electric vacuum aspiration with sharp curettage for the treatment of incomplete abortion: randomized controlled trial." 01/01/2009 - "Moreover, it finds that projects in Kenya, Myanmar and Uganda have successfully trained nurse-midwives to provide post-abortion care for incomplete abortion with manual vacuum aspiration, and that studies in Ethiopia and India have recommended that providers such as auxiliary nurse-midwives should be trained in abortion service delivery to ensure that they provide safe abortions for low-income women. " 11/01/2003 - "When manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) was introduced to treat incomplete abortion at a regional training hospital in El Salvador, this study evaluated the impact of replacing sharp curettage with MVA. " 10/01/2002 - "Based on the findings of this study, any patient going for manual vacuum aspiration for the treatment of incomplete abortion should be given Paracervical block as it is cost effective, easy to perform and with less side effects."

" 12/01/2015 - "To investigate the potential risk factors for haemorrhage during suction curettage after uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the treatment of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). "
4.	Pain (Aches) 10/01/2010 - "there was a clinically and statistically significant improvement in penile length, angle of curvature and pain after 12 weeks of using the vacuum pump. " 01/01/2010 - "Vacuum aspiration was associated with statistically significantly decreased blood loss (mean difference (MD) -17.10 ml, 95% confidence interval (CI) -24.05 to -10.15 ml), less pain during the procedure (risk ratio (RR) 0.74, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.90), and shorter duration of the procedure (MD -1.20 minutes, 95% CI -1.53 to -0.87 minutes), than sharp metal curettage, in the single study that evaluated these outcomes in 357 women. " 08/01/2008 - "The aim of the study was to evaluate pain and predictors of pain in women undergoing electric (EVA) or manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) for first trimester surgical abortions and to examine how perceptions of pain differ among participants, advocates (participant support person) and physicians. " 01/01/2001 - "Vacuum aspiration was associated with statistically significantly decreased blood loss (-17 mls weighted mean difference, 95% confidence interval (CI) -24 to -10 mls), less pain (relative risk (RR): 0.74, 95% CI 0.61, 0.90), and shorter duration of procedure (-1.2 minutes weighted mean difference, 95% CI -1.5 to -0.87 minutes), than sharp curettage, in the single study that evaluated these outcomes. " 11/01/1988 - "A questionnaire study was made of the pain and discomfort from vacuum aspiration (vabra) of the cervix/uterus without anaesthetic treatment, and the desire of medication/hospitalization in case of a repeated operation. "
5.	Spontaneous Abortion (Miscarriage) 10/01/2002 - "Since the mid of twentieth century, the gold standard of evacuation of spontaneous abortion is manual vacuum aspiration most of the time under general anesthesia. " 01/01/2015 - "Operative hysteroscopy versus vacuum aspiration for incomplete spontaneous abortion (HY-PER): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial." 07/01/2013 - "Women undergoing suction curettage for spontaneous miscarriage (study group) and voluntary termination of pregnancy (control group) in the first trimester. " 01/01/2012 - "Randomized trials comparing expectant care and surgical treatment (vacuum aspiration or dilation and curettage) for miscarriage were eligible for inclusion. " 01/01/2010 - "Although the review indicates that vacuum aspiration is safe, quick to perform, and less painful than sharp curettage, and should be recommended for use in the management of incomplete miscarriage, the results are based on data from only one study.
