title: [Cervical dilatation by use of a vaginal suppository of meteneprost before voluntary interruption of the pregnancy in the first trimester].
abstract: Instrumental dilatation of the cervix prior to first trimester absorption may be difficult and source of complications. Pharmacological dilatation is proposed in a prospective random study using vaginal suppository containing 10 mg of 9-deoxo, 16-16 dimethyl, 9 methylene PGE2 (Meteneprost). Mean cervical dilatation, 3 hours after treatment, was significantly higher in the treated group (8.1 vs 6 mm) and additional dilatation was facilitated by cervical softening. Side effects occurred in most of the treated patients (uterine pain) but on a minor scale. This procedure may be considered as effective, safe and easy.
