Vaginal Misoprostol: Experimental
A drug is given vaginally and to compare this with an oral administration of the same drug to find it is effect on it is effect on the cervix

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of oral versus vaginal misoprostol prior to surgical termination of first trimester missed abortion as cervical priming agent , the difference of cervical dilatation immediately prior to operation , the duration of operation and side effects between two treatment groups.
Design: This study was conducted as randomised study.
Setting: Maternity Teaching Hospital in Hawler/ Kurdistan/ Iraq.
Population: Over a period of six months from the first of January to the thirtieth of June, 2008, one hundred women were included in this study. They were cases of first trimester abortion (6-12 weeks).
Method: Patients were randomly selected for the type of treatment they received. The first group (oral) were assigned to receive 400 micrograms of misoprostol orally as preoperative cervical priming agent, where as the second group (vaginal) were allocated to have treatment either with vaginal misoprostol to receive 400 micrograms vaginally.
Main outcome measure: Oral versus vaginal misoprostol as cervical ripening agent prior to termination of first trimester missed abortion.
Keywords: First trimester, missed abortion, misoprostol, cervical ripening, oral, vaginal.
