No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Dilation and evacuation (D\&E) is a common surgical procedure in the U.S. Adequate pre-operative preparation of the uterine cervix is an important part of preventing complications of the procedure. Traditionally, the uterine cervix is prepared for the procedure using water-attracting dilators, which are placed via a speculum exam and cause discomfort for many women. The objective of this study is to investigate the comparative effectiveness of mifepristone (an oral tablet) versus dilators for cervical preparation for D\&E.
