title: [Opinion to the vibrodilatation of the cervix in induced abortions - report of 2 years of experiences with the Soviet vibrodilatator WG-I].
abstract: The article discusses the techniques, the indications, the advantages and disadvantages of vibrodilatation on the basis of 2855 interruptiones of pregnancy up to the 12th months. No perforation, cervical injury or intraoperative bleeding due to the use of a WG-I vibrodilator was established in the authors' own patients. The average loss of blood was 164 ml and the periods of dilatation ranged from 6 to 44 seconds, with a failure rate of 5 per cent. The authors recommend that in cases of interruption of pregnancy vibrodilatation, involving very few complications, should be attempted as a rule before Hegar's classical dilatation is applied.
