Authors investigated possibilities of application of polyacryl-nitrile cervical dilators PCD-Dilapan in preabortion preparation of the cervix during the first trimester of pregnancy in 39 adolescent patients. Control of the achieved degree of cervical dilatation was performed by largest No Hegar dilator which did not show resistance during insertion. The control group comprised 35 adolescent patients in whom cervical dilatation was performed only by Hegar dilators till optimal dilatation for vacuum aspiration was achieved. Mean cervical dilatation in the investigated group was means = 8.85 mm (SD +/- 0.85) and in the control group means = 8.55 mm (SD +/- 0.78) with no statistically significant difference (T = 0.024, p greater than 0.05). "Analogous visual scale" was used for pain estimation during cervical dilatation. In the investigated group means = 2.01 (SD +/- 1.83) of pain degrees while means = 6.71 (SD +/- 1.89) in the control group. Side effects during cervical dilatation were noted in 15.38% of patients in the investigated group and in 51.41% of patients in the control group which difference was not statistically significant (chi 2 = 5.59, p greater than 0.05).
