Medical methods for mid-trimester termination of pregnancy

Socio-Demographic & Obstetric Profile of Women Undergoing PreHospital Induced Abortion Admitted at a Tertiary Care Centre

“…In the current study the commonest indication for abortion was short birth spacing (42.8%) followed by contraceptive failure (35.2%).Similar results were observed by Sandhya et al 7 . In current study majority of patients who tried induced abortion used oral Mifepristone and Misoprostol combipack (40.9%) followed by oral Misoprostol (39%) which was consistent with the results of study done by Wildschut H et al 8 .…”

Efficacy of second-trimester termination procedure; medical, mechanic, or combine?

“…Similarly, termination period of mechanical applications has also been longer in this study. There are studies suggesting that mechanical applications should be combined with medical methods in order to shorten this period [13, 14]. We observed also in this study that combined method shortened this period.…”

A randomized controlled trial comparing combined medical and mechanical method for early mid‐trimester abortion (13–20 weeks)

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial in the literature comparing combined medical and mechanical methods for MTA. Our findings of decreased IAI have also been observed by different trials using mechanical methods with and without simultaneous use of medical methods for MTA (different dosages and regimens of misoprostol/mifepristone used) 1,3,5,6 . However, there is a paucity of randomized trials comparing combined medical and mechanical methods with medical method alone, for MTA 3,5 …”
