Mechanical methods for induction of labor.
Résumé
In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted, which have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of using mechanical methods for the induction of labor with an unfavorable Bishop Score (BS ≤ 6). Mechanical methods work by stimulating the endogenous production of prostaglandins (PG) by stretching the amnio-chorionic membranes and myometrial cells.
