title: Failed suction termination of pregnancy: case reports and review.
abstract: This paper presents two case reports of failed suction termination of first trimester pregnancies which occurred at Geelong Hospital over a short period of time and thus drew our attention to this very difficult problem. The international experience with such failed terminations is then reviewed, with discussion of the recognized associations, prevention and management of such cases.
