Abstract
Dilatation of the uterine cervix by low frequency vibrations has been carried out before intra-uterine irradiation with 60Co by the afterloading technique. No complications or technical difficulties occurred. The method seems to be easy, safe, rapid and usually without unacceptable discomfort to the patient. The need for sedatives or general or local anaesthesia was reduced.
