An abortion involves many types of procedures. When it comes to do the surgery, doctors express their preferences to use one or even a combination of various methods so as to carry out the procedure successfully. There are basically three late term abortion procedures. They are mentioned herein below:
* The first one is the induced labor. The preterm labor is induced after the process of fetal death in utero is performed. This mainly happens in second or third trimester abortions. As per the medical reports from around the world, the induction of labor is considered to be efficient and successful. It is much safer than the other procedures. On your first visit to the office, you will be sedated with medications which will include antianxiety agents such Valium. This will be given to you so that you will feel or not even remember the anxiety or any kind of discomfort. These help in crossing the placenta and also cause the fetus to get dormant. Once it is done, the medications are instilled into the intrauterine cavity. It is sometimes also directly instilled into the fetus, which ultimately stops the heart beat of the fetus. There is a sterile seaweed, Laminaria is inserted inside the cervix area which allows the opening that takes place overnight. This helps in lessening the complications that may happen because of the tears of the cervix. You will get back to the facility the next morning and the labor will get started. For this, you will be given medications like prostaglandins that will make the labor to happen.
* The next procedure is dilation and extraction. Once everything mentioned above is done, the serial dilators will be used, but only if the doctor thinks any surgical process is required. After a sufficient amount of dilation has been done, the doctor will gently extract the fetus by making use of a special kind of forcep. This procedure takes around ten to thirty minutes, and even some hours to complete it. However, before you undergo the surgery, you will be given an amount of anesthesia so that you do not feel the pain.
* The next procedure is hysterotomy. This procedure can be considered to be very similar to Caesarean section. Before you undergo this procedure, you will be given epidural anesthesia. It will numb the lower part of your body.
There are other procedures as well apart from these. But these three are the most opted for.
