To terminate pregnancy 15 women with an established diagnosis of missed abortion or intrauterine dead fetuses were treated with 1.0 mg Prostaglandin E2 in viscous gel applied as a single intracervical dose. Abortion was induced after a mean of 7 hours in 8 patients with a mean gestational age of 15 weeks and a subsequent evacuation of the uterine cavity was easily performed. Complete abortion delivery was obtained in 7 patients with a gestational age of 33 weeks. The overall mean induction delivery time was 7.5 hours. Apart from pain related to uterine contractions no side effects were observed and no complications occurred. It is concluded that the present technique represents a promising alternative in the treatment of patients with missed abortion or intrauterine dead fetuses. (Author's modified)
