Complications of abortion and need for appropriate ultrasound assessment and peri-abortion care.
2021
Abortion is an essential medical service; however, the lack of standardised protocols and follow-up can cause unintended harm. We present four cases of post-abortion complications presenting to a Sydney tertiary hospital which could have been avoided by appropriate ultrasound prior to abortion and peri-abortion care. While social progress has led to significant reforms in abortion law, clinical guidelines must also be updated and consistently applied to ensure safety of this practice.
