“…In the first four weeks of the second trimester termination of pregnancy can reliably be performed as a one stage procedure with D&E performed in one day after adequate cervical priming with misoprostol (Chambers et al, 2011a). As shown in Table 1, the dosage of misoprostol required increases with the gestation.…”

“…At 14-16 weeks an additional third sublingual dose of misoprostol 400 mcg is given 30 minutes after the second sublingual dose, with D&E 3 hours after the last dose. A retrospective study I performed with colleagues (Chambers et al, 2011a) showed that the simple addition of one oral tablet of misoprostol 200 mcg at home 3 hours before admission to the regimen of 2 tablets ½ hourly for two or three doses on admission increased the probability of all women at 13-16 weeks gestation completing a termination of pregnancy in one day with a single D&E procedure to 100%, and with a reduced theatre time, the operators noting operations to be easier to perform with the extra priming from the one oral tablet taken 3 hours before admission. Preparation of the woman in the theatre is as in first trimester up to dilatation of the cervix.…”
