What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Preoperative cervical width in centimeters
Time Frame: intraoperative
• Initial cervical dilatation assessed by performing cervical dilatation , beginning with a number 10 Hegar dilator and subsequently inserting smaller Hegar dilators until the dilator can pass through the internal os without resistance. The largest one to pass will consist the initial cervical width.
intraoperative

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time required to achieve cervical dilatation
Time Frame: intraoperative
The time in minutes required for dilatation up to a number 10 Hegar
intraoperative
Patient preference
Time Frame: baseline
Patient acceptability of the administration of medication on a 5-point Likert scale (1-very uncomfortable, 5-very comfortable)
baseline
Adverse effects of medication
Time Frame: baseline
Self reported misoprostol-associated adverse effects before the procedure (such as nausea, vomiting)
baseline
Surgical complications
Time Frame: intraoperative
Complications arising during surgery (perforation, cervical laceration, excess bleeding)
intraoperative
Ease of cervical dilatation
Time Frame: intraoperative
The subjective ease of cervical dilatation recorded by the surgeon on a 5-point Likert scale (1-very difficult, 5- very easy
intraoperative
