Intracervical Foley Catheter versus Vaginal Prostaglandins for Induction of Labor in Women with Previous One Cesarean Section-A Pilot Study

Results: Successful vaginal delivery was comparable in the three groups; mean induction to delivery interval (h) was greater for dinoprostone group (20.10±2.62) than catheter (19.93±2.92) and misoprostol (18.76±2.47) groups (P>0.05). Oxytocin was more needed in the catheter group (23.3%) than in the dinoprostone (20%) and misoprostol (13.3%) groups (P>0.05). The cesarean rate was not significantly different among the three groups, but the main indications were different: failure to progress (44.5%) in the catheter group versus (50%) in dinoprostone group and non-reassuring FHR pattern (42.8%) in the misoprostol group with no major maternal complications reported.
