[Cervical complications in the use of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) in pregnancy].

During pregnancy application of prostaglandins has been proved a successful method both for induction of midtrimester artificial abortion and cervical priming before termination of pregnancy at the end of first trimester. A report is given about three cases of cervical complications following the induction of artificial abortion and cervical priming with the consequence of operations. Therefore cervical priming should not be considered as an intervention without side effects and complications. It is indicated only in cases of primipregnancy with an unfavourable state of the cervical anatomy and at the end of first trimester.
