Hysterotomy abortion is a form of abortion in which the uterus is accessed through an abdominal incision and the fetus is removed. It is used in emergency situations where the fetus is too large for less invasive procedures and an intact dilation and extraction procedure is either medically inadvisable or illegal. It is similar to a caesarean section, but does not result in a live birth.

Health officials in the United States warned practitioners against performing hysterotomy abortion in an outpatient setting after it led to the deaths of two women in New York during 1971.[1][2]
