Abstract
The Foley catheter and a 3 mg dinoprostone pessary (Prostin E2) were compared as methods for cervical preparation before second trimester dilatation and evacuation. The catheter was well tolerated and provided significantly greater change in cervical dilatation and improved cervical compliance. The Foley catheter would seem to provide a readily available and efficacious means of cervical preparation.Entities:
