The study was carried out at Hung Vuong Hospital in 1998 to compare vaginal misoprostol with extra-amniotic balloon to induce abortion in second trimester. Patients were received either 800mcg misoprostol vaginally (n=87) or 500ml of 0.9% NaCl solution inserted into extra-amniotic cavity (n= 93) for induced abortion. Vaginal misoprostol was repeated 24-hourly for maximum of three times. The abortion rates were 98.9% and 96.8% for misoprostol and balloon group, respectively. A second attempt was need in approximate one third of patients in misoprostol group and 10% in balloon group. Side effects of misoprostol were mild and transient. Vaginal misoprostol is as effective as balloon for induced abortion in second trimester. Misoprostol is cheap and easily stored and used. Vaginal misoprostol could be considered as an alternative to balloon for induced abortion

Introduction: Unsafe abortion is one of the major medical and public health problems in developing countries. However, there is a lack of up‑to‑date and reliable information on induced abortion distribution and its determinant factors in the country Objectives: This study determined the sociodemographic and clinical profile of women admitted for abortion at a tertiary government hospital in Cebu city from 2013‑2017 Methods: This study reviewed the charts in medical records of women diagnosed with abortion admitted at a government tertiary hospital from January 2013 to December 2017 with key words “abortion” in the final diagnosis Results: The results of this study showed that 86% of patients who had induced abortion discharged improved from this institution, 2 patients died due to medical complications and 12% were discharged against medical advice. Majority of abortions were within early ages of gestation. Primigravidas and primiparas had the highest incidence of induced abortion 20.44% and 27.73%respectively. Of the treatments employed, the major method of abortion employed was mechanical. Majority of induced abortions did not develop septic complications Conclusion The trend in admission of induced abortions from 2013 to 2017 showed a downward trend. This decrease in incidence may be attributed to improved access to family planning methods since the Reproductive Health Law was implemented in 2014 and the introduction of the Maternal Perinatal Statistics quarterly conferences headed by Department of Health (DOH) Region 7 and the different DOH‑retained hospitals as well as BEMONC/SEMONC facilities in Cebu Province. 17.
