متن کاملMifepristone and misoprostol for cervical ripening in surgical abortion between 12 and 14 weeks of gestation: a randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE Misoprostol and mifepristone are the two substances recommended for cervical preparation during first-trimester surgical abortions to decrease intraoperative bleeding and complications. The objective of the study was to evaluate whether the combination of mifepristone and misoprostol for cervical preparation in an elective surgical abortion between 12 and 14 weeks of gestation can red...
