FWIW, we have some teflon os dilators made by Sklar which are soft enough to not perforate but stiff and flexible enough to find the hole, usually.

I tend to agree with Steve at the gut level about cytotec in this circumstance, and am similarly leery about lacrimal probes.

I will likely use the cytotec--just because, and then try the teflon things. If not easy, I'll do a LEEP.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
