title: [Failed induced abortion. Pregnancy continuing after induced abortion].
abstract: Operations classified as induced abortion fail, i.e. the pregnancy continues, in approximately 0.05% of the cases. Termination procedures before 7-8 weeks of gestation and wrong assessment of the size of the uterus imply significantly increased risk of failed abortion. The article describes current methods for early termination of pregnancy, as well as preoperative procedures and postoperative advice aimed at avoiding or detecting failed induced abortions.
