Abstract
A comparison was made between four methods of ripening the unfavourable cervix (extra-amniotic prostaglandin E2 gel, oral prostaglandin E2, intravaginal prostaglandin E2 and intravenous oxytocin) in a clinical trial involving 60 primigravidae. In all groups there was an improvement in cervical status. This was significantly greater in those patients who received extra-amniotic prostaglandin gel and they also showed significant decreases in the mean induction-delivery interval and in the incidence of Caesarean section.Entities:
