Objectives. To describe and compare practices and complications of induced abortions (IA) between 12 and 14 gestational weeks (GW) with those performed at lower terms (8-10 and 1012 GW). Patients and methods. Cohort study enrolled in two IA centers 411 women, 147 of them with 12-14 weeks gestation. Comparisons were made according to pregnancy term (8-10, 10-12 and 12-14 GW). Results. Pregnancy term influenced the technical conditions of IA. Number and diameter of dilators and suction cannula as well as surgery time increase with gestational age -whether priming agents were used or not. Pain felt during surgery and early complications (within 15 days post IA) did not increase with gestational age. Conclusion. Results of this study show that IA between 12 and 14 GW are as feasible as with lower terms. Objectives.
