Abstract
Summary. The effect of a vaginal pessary containing 1 mg of 16,16‐dimethyl‐trans‐Δ2 PGE1 methyl ester inserted 3 h before surgical termination of first trimester pregnancies is described. All patients were primigravidae and had had no previous cervical operations. The treated group had a significant degree of cervical dilatation before operation and the force required to insert the largest dilator necessary was considerably reduced.Keywords
