Summary
This study looked at whether giving a dose of oxytocin (a drug that helps the uterus contract) after a second-trimester pregnancy termination could lower the chance of retained placenta. 27 women took part, and half received oxytocin while the other half did not. The main goal was to see if fewer women needed extra procedures to remove the placenta.
