Abstract
Introduction: Abortions represent an important part of obstetrical emergencies managed in Senegalese maternity hospitals. The complications that can arise from them are sometimes responsible for maternal mortality and morbidity. Therefore, the continuous improvement of Postabortion Care (PAC) remains a concern. It is in this sense that we conducted this study, the main objective of which was to evaluate the management of abortions at the Institut d’Hygiène Sociale de Dakar. The specific objectives were to describe the epidemiological profile of spontaneous first-trimester abortions, to report the practice of postabortion care, to compare the effectiveness of Misoprostol with that of manual intrauterine suction in the management of first-trimester abortion, to state the cost of care borne by patients, and to assess the use of family planning in the postabortion period.
