Abstract:
Forty women undergoing first-trimester termination of pregnancy were treated with 1 mg gemeprost, 3 h preoperatively. In more than 60%, dilatation or effacement of the cervix occurred with minimal side effects. Gemeprost is therefore recommended for use before routine suction termination of pregnancy in the first trimester.
