Abstract:
The effect of cervical dilatation prior to first trimester abortion by laminaria tent and a newly developed hydrogel tent, the A rod, was studied on 50 patients undergoing first trimester legal abortion. The effect was measured both clinically and by the use of an objective measure of cervical resistance. No significant difference in cervical dilatation was found after 5 h of treatment.
