Abstract
(Abstracted from Lancet 2016;387:1619–1628) When pregnancy complications pose a threat to the mother or fetus or both, induction of labor is often required. Induction of labor is accomplished through a variety of methods; in pregnant women having an unfavourable cervix, cervical ripening of the cervix is accomplished through various mechanical and pharmacological means.
