Abstract

BACKGROUND: A study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of intra cervical dinoprostone gel and extra-amniotic prostodin in midtrimester abortions.

MATERIAL AND METHOD: A total of 25 cases were included in this study. Dinoprotone gel was inserted intracervically in the evening and next morning Inj Prostodin diluted in saline was injected extra amniotically. The efficacy and side effects of the method were studied.

RESULTS: The mean induction abortion interval was found to be 17.32 hrs and there were no failures. 04 cases required assistance for removal of placenta. There were no other complications.

CONCLUSION: Intra-cervical dinoprostone gel combined with extraamniotic prostodin is an effective and safe method of mid trimester abortion.
