[Trans-isthmicocervical intra-amniotic instillation of hypertonic sodium solutions for termination of pregnancy after the 1st trimester]

The author informs about a modification of Wagner's method of termination of pregnancy after the first trimester. All 100 women aborted without major complications. Antibiotics were given prophylactically. A stimulation with an Oxytocin perfusion was necessary only in 3 cases. It is pointed out, that the transisthmicocervical intraamniotic way of injection of the saline solution is to be preferred in some aspects to the usual transabdominal way.
