[Methods of artificial termination of pregnancy with special consideration of the use of prostaglandin (author's transl)].

For termination of a pregnancy up until the 12th week, the method of choice is suction curettage. The dilation of the cervical canal is made easier and sometimes the embryo is aborted if a viscid preparation containing Prostaglandin F 22 is injected intracervically 12 hours prior to the scheduled procedure. For termination of pregnancy after the 14th week, prostaglandin is superior to all other methods. It can be used intraamnially, extra-amnially or intravenously. Not enough information and experience is available in Europe regarding the intravaginal application.
