A single intracervical instillation of prostaglandin E2 (1.0 mg or 0.5 mg in viscous gel) was given to dilate the cervix before dilatation and evacuation in patients with missed abortion or intrauterine fetal death in late pregnancy. The 1.0-mg dose of PGE2 gave more prominent cervical dilatation in early pregnancy. In late pregnancy 1.0 mg PGE2 induced labor in the majority of patients and with shorter induction delivery time than in patients given 0.5 mg PGE2. There was no uterine hypertonus and no patients complained of gastrointestinal symptoms. We conclude that intracervical instillation of 1.0 mg of PGE2 in viscous gel is a safe and effective method both for dilating the cervix before dilatation and evacuation and as a method of inducing labor in patients with intrauterine fetal death.
