We set out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the proposed misoprostol regimen in women with previous multiple caesarean sections. This was a retrospective cohort study of 21 women with more than one caesarean section who underwent termination of pregnancy (TOP) with 400 mug of vaginal misoprostol followed by 200 mug/6 h (max 800 mug). The complete abortion rate was 12/21 (57.14%) and six (28.57%) women had an incomplete abortion. Three TOPs (14.29%) failed. In the first trimester group, only 3/9 (33.34%) aborted completely, while (9/12) 75% second trimester patients aborted completely. There were no major complications. The proposed regimen is considered safe and reasonably effective in second trimester TOPs in women with previous multiple caesarean sections. In first trimester patients, the possibility of manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) should be discussed during counselling, or a higher dose should be used as the effectiveness is low. |
