Surgical induced abortion between 14 and 16 weeks of gestation: Complications

Patient characteristics appeared similar to those of patients undergoing induced abortion before 14 WG, except for the history of violence, which appeared higher. Complication rates were comparable to those for induced abortions performed before 14 WG, except for bleeding over 500 mL, transfusions, and preoperative expulsions. Protocols dedicated to the realization of induced abortions between 14 and 16 WG could be proposed to improve their management.
