Abstract

Background. The complexity of terminating non-developing pregnancy is that the cervix uteri is not ready and the myometrium is inert, which lead to the prolonged inability of the uterus to expulse an embryo or fetus. The treatment of patients with this pathology uses a large range of drugs, the efficacy of which is not always sufficient, which is due to the severity of the process, reduced immune reactivity, and the presence of severe extragenital diseases. Case reports. The paper describes three complex clinical cases of abortion in cases of intrauterine fetus/embryo death in the presence of severe comorbidity, by applying a Dilapan-S osmotic dilator. Discussion. It is noted that DILAPAN-S not only causes cervical canal dilatation, but, in some cases, results in self- induced miscarriage. Conclusion. This instrument can be separately used to resolve an incomplete abortion in the presence of severe extragenital diseases
