Abstrakt: A regimen of intracervical prostaglandin E, gel (Prepidil) was compared with gemeprost pessaries for induction of second trimester abortion. In the chosen dose of 2 mg applied intracervically, the prostaglandin E, method was found to be ineffective for termination of middle trimester pregnancies. If intracervical prostaglandin ' E, gel without oxytocin augmentation is to be an alternative to gemeprost vaginal pessaries a higher dose in a reduced volume of gel is certainly necessary.
