MTPs are legal in India (MTP act 1972). First-trimester MTPs are either done medically or surgically and Many second trimester MTP is done due to Fetal anomalies. Cervical dilatation is an important part of surgical MTP and it becomes challenging in some cases where the cervix is not visualised due to the distorted anatomy of utero-cervical canal.
