Prostaglandin F2 alpha was used to induce abortion in 287 primigravidae, aged 13-44 (average age 17.5), who were 6-12 weeks pregnant. A solution of 5 mg prostaglandin to 20 ml isotonic salt solution was instilled extraamnially in 3 ml dosages at 1 hour intervals. If more than 8 instillations were required, the dosage was increased to 4-6 ml. In 61.3% of the patients, incomplete abortion was observed. In 30.3%, an additional minor Hegar dilatation was necessary. In 6.3%, complete Hegar dilatation was easily performed. The failure rate was 2.1%. There were 3 cases of endometritis, 9 of salpingitis, and 11 of adnexitis. The average postoperative hospitalization period was 6.7 days.
