Abstract
- Suction curettage is a relatively safe procedure to induce abortion of first trimester pregnancy with a very low complication rate. But, in order to do that, cervix should be dilated enough to pass operating devices. We experienced a case of first trimester pregnancy terminated successfully using transvaginal misoprostol when suction curettage was failed due to severely cervical stenosis after LEEP conization.
