Efficacy of vaginal misoprostol before hysteroscopy for cervical priming in patients who have undergone cesarean section and no vaginal deliveries.

We wanted to investigate the effect of misoprostol administered vaginally before operative hysteroscopy on cervical dilation, complications, and failure rates in patients who have undergone cesarean section and who have never delivered vaginally. Sixty patients who had undergone cesarean section, who had never delivered vaginally before, and were about to undergo hysteroscopy for various intrauterine lesions were included in this randomized controlled study. Thirty-two patients in the study group were given misoprostol 400 microg, and 28 patients in the control group were given placebo (hexetidine pill) vaginally twice, 6 and 12 hours before the procedure.
