Since June 1949, we have ued a new method of artificial abortion (Shimizu's method) for 73 cases of pregnancy. The method and results are summarized as follows.
Method : 50 to 250cc of physiological saline is injected into between the uterine wall and membrane with Nelaton catheter. At the 4-5th month of pregnancy chininum hydrocloricum and pituitrin are administered 4-5 hours prior to this operation so that the uterus may be sensitized.
Results :
(1) This method is simple and especially successful in the second half of pregnancy. We succeeded in 83.5 per cent of all 73 cases.
(2) In cases of toxemia and nephropathia, use of glucose and magnecium sulfate is recommended instead of physiological saline.
(3) Even when this method is without success in the first half of pregnancy, dilation of cervix and curettage are performed very easily.
(4) There is no damage to fetus and mother.
