Background: To compare the effects of Dilapan-S versus phloroglucinol on
cervical dilation in hysteroscopic polyp resection. Methods: This
prospective, observational study enrolled non-menopausal patients with
endometrial polyps who underwent operative hysteroscopy for transcervical polyp
resection between October 2021 and October 2022. The patients were given
Dilapan-S or phloroglucinol for cervical dilation. The primary outcome
was cervical dilation time; secondary outcomes included cervical softening and
adverse events. Non-inferiority was prespecified with a margin of 6 seconds.
Results: Among 105 included patients, 55 were given phloroglucinol and
50 Dilapan-S. There were no significant differences in age, body mass index
(BMI), history of vaginal delivery, hysteroscopic electrotomy, and cervical
conization between the two groups (all p
