Abstract
AIM- The present study was undertaken to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mifepristone and misoprostol for pregnancy termination in mid trimester in women with prior scar of Caesarean section in MGM Medical College and LSK Hospital Kishanganj Bihar.
METHODS: 30 women with previous one cesarean and 13-20 weeks gestation were included. This study was done in women coming for induced abortion in MGM Medical College and LSK Hospital Kishanganj.
RESULTS: There was no case of rupture uterus .All patients aborted within 24 hrs. Most of them needed surgical evacuation for removing placental bits.
CONCLUSION: Use of misoprostol in combination with mifepristone is safe and effective for second trimester abortion in women with previous cesarean.
KEYWORDS- Misoprostol, Mifepristone, cesarean, rupture uterus.
