Here is a site that gives a good explanation of these methods of terminating pregnancy.
This answer does not imply any endorsement of abortion. It is just an answer to a question.

A medical one is an abortion that is perform when the pregnancy is life threatening situations. Maybe the pregnancy will cause serious complications to the mother or the baby is badly deform. It usually know other choice but to abort. I don't know about surgical, I though they were the same.

Medical abortion is the term used to using drugs like RU-486 to perform an abortion versus a surgical abortion that uses suction and possibly other invasive means to complete the abortion.

Surgical abortion is a surgical procedure which involves a D&C (Dilation and Coratouge) ( I may be spelling this wrong) which is performed by medical personnel ( a MD.)
A medical abortion is done via pills which kills the embyro which is then expelled from the body out of the vagina by muscle spasms (all caused by the pills.) The pills are directly placed into the vagina via insertion.

Both methods of abortion (surgical and medical) can be dangerous to the physical and emotional health of the mother:

Surgical involves some kind of instrument and physical action. A medical one would use drugs or pills instead to terminate whats there.

medical abortion is an abortion for medical not for social reasons, for example the pregnancy threats mother life or the baby has deadly disease or defect
