PIP: Previously, special operating methods and pathologically anatomical results were used to prove an artificially induced abortion (often performed illegally) and was of interest both to the law and to the science of medicine, the revision of certain legislation stresses the medical, ethical, and social aspects. While the mortality rate postabortum is extremely low, the incidence of morbidity after induced abortion is often underestimated. The consideration of legal aspects when deciding on the indications for abortion as well as the medical instructions demands a profound knowledge of the complications. Because of the methodical improvements in the suction method and by application of prostaglandins (PGs) at the time of investigation, at the operation procedure, at follow-up of primary and secondary early complications, and above all at the time of late complications, the period of gestation and the definition of the complications must be considered carefully. The literature published after 1970 reports an incidence of early complications equal to 4%, of secondary early complications to 10%, and of late complications to 20%. Methodically valid studies and generally appreciated results have not been available until now. (author's)
