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

Ectopic pregancy and previous induced abortions: To assess the risk of ectopic pregnancy (EP) by previous induced abortions (IA), a case control study was conducted at Tudu Obstetric and Gynecology hospital in 2000 with 160 cases of extrauterine pregnancy and 320 cases of intrauterine pregnancy under 14 weeks. The results showed that previous induced abortion was the risk of EP with odds ratio (OR) of 4.8(95% Cl: 3.2-7.2). However, we did not find any association between the number of abortions and IA with complications has had the relationship with EP. We found a 24,5 fold increases risk of EP after IA taken place in private sector or commune levels compared with IA taken in hospital or districts hospitals. Uterine curettage was the risk of EP, safe abortion and IA by no invasive procedures should be paid more attention
