Abstract Objective To find out which was the opinion of residents in obstetrics and gynecology about the advantages and disadvantages of medical abortion as compared with surgical procedures. Method Cross-sectional multicenter study among residents in obstetrics and gynecology from 21 maternity hospitals located in 4 different geographical regions of Brazil, using a self-responded questionnaire with 31 questions related to their opinion and experience on providing abortion services. Results Most residents agreed that “being less invasive” (94.7%), “does not require anesthesia” (89.7%), “can be accompanied during the process” (89.1%), “prevents physical trauma” (84.4%) were the main advantages of medical abortion.
