About

Since the extension of the legal abortion limit to 16 weeks by the law of March 2, 2022, we must adapt our care to reduce the risks associated with this procedure. According to the French National Authority for Health (HAS), all abortions after 9 weeks of gestation should be performed surgically, but the French National College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians (CNGOF) indicates that each patient should have the choice of method regardless of the gestational age at the time of the abortion.
