cervical ripening for late first trimester abortions

Does anyone out there use oral cytotec the day before a D&C for a missed abortion at 12wks?

I have a G1P0 @16wks gestational age that came in with a fetal demise measuring 12wks. I think I can get it out with a 12mm curved canula since it is probably beginning to decompose, but the dilatation is usually pretty traumatic. I don't think this young lady would like laminaria either.

Thanks for the advice.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
