When there is more than one operative procedure, each operative procedure is counted separately. Thus the total of all operative procedures will be greater than the total of Induced Abortions.
For Induced Abortions occurring in New York City, only primary operative procedure is reported.
New York City combines saline and prostaglandin injection and this combination is reported in the saline injection procedure
