- Abstract
A retrospective analysis of eight cases of third-trimester fetal demise managed with prostaglandin E2 vaginal suppositories (PGE2) is presented. Management included laminaria insertion prior to induction and an initial lower dosage of PGE2. No cases of uterine rupture or cervicovaginal lacerations were encountered. A summary of the literature as it relates to PGE2 vaginal suppository use in third-trimester fetal demise is included.
