“…In addition, there was a trend in group 2 for a decrease in the rate of retained products over time, indicating that there was no need for routine curettage [9]. Some studies reported surgical evacuation rates of 2.5%-9.4% [18][19][20], which is lower than in our study; however, gestational age in those studies was more advanced. Evidence shows that complete abortion occurs with increasing gestational age [12].…”
A 2-day mifepristone-misoprostol interval resulted in fewer incomplete abortions than a 1-day interval for second trimester termination of pregnancy between 13 and 16 weeks.

“…The mean inductionto-abortion interval was 6.7 hours [17]. Finally, in a retrospective analysis, Green et al [18] reported a frequency of retained placenta of 6% in 233 women who received a loading dose of 400 µg of vaginal or buccal misoprostol plus 200 µg every 6 hours. The authors used a lower dose of misoprostol because they had induced fetal demise with intra-amniotic injection of digoxin 1 day prior to induction.…”

L E A R N I N G P O I N T Sr Surgical abortion is one of the safest procedures in contemporary medical practice. r Prophylactic antibiotics reduce the risk of postabortal infection, although the optimum regimen remains unclear. r Failed attempted abortion occurs more commonly in women with uterine anomalies, such as a bicornuate uterus. r Immediate postoperative tissue inspection confirms successful abortion and excludes the remote possibility of an unsuspected ectopic pregnancy in most cases.
