Interruption of pregnancy by cervical rivanol predilatation.

Experience obtained in 1361 cases of first trimester pregnancy interruption with cervical Rivanol predilatation is reported. Rivanol-induced predilatation of the cervical canal prior to interruption was found to be an efficient procedure. The dilating effect of Rivanol could not be enhanced by i.m. administration of 5 IU oxytocin. After the interruption of more advanced pregnancies a higher degree of dilatation of the cervix was observed. The necessity of further dilatation prior to vacuum aspiration is, in the majority of cases, not higher than 2-2.5 H, which is insignificant on the softened cervix. The immediate complications of medical induction and interruption were infrequent and not severe. Thus, cervical predilatation with Rivanol prior to vacuum aspiration is a recommendable method of pregnancy interruption, worthy of widespread application.

Early complications of first trimester interruption of pregnancies with rivanol predilatation.

The early complications of the non-invasive interruption of 1361 first trimester pregnancies induced by Rivanol predilatation were studied. For this purpose the patients were called back for follow-up examination 6 weeks after the operation. The number of patients reporting at the control examination was 769. The number of febrile complications of genital origin was low. Slight postoperative bleeding exceeded the amount of normal menstruation only in 4.9% of the patients and, in general, it did not last longer than 7 days. The same applied to abdominal and lumbar complaints. The proportion of early complications was lower than after interruptions with the D + VA and D + C methods. The first menstruation after the operation did not differ from the earlier menstruation pattern of the particular patient in 75.9% of the cases. This also showed that the use of Rivanol did not involve lasting and severe damage to the endometrium.
