Summary Intrauterine instillation of prostaglandin E 2 was used in an attempt to induce abortion in 20 pregnancies of less than 12 weeks gestation. The technique failed altogether in 7 patients, and achieved only incomplete abortion in the remaining 13. Evidence of uterine infection developed in 4 patients. The results obtained have not encouraged the continuing use of the method for terminating early pregnancy in this centre.
