Abstract
Both forms of PGE2 are safe and effective, although the vaginal insert was associated with a lower rate of caesarean section when a second application was required. This finding could be related to the lower rate of cesarean section for failure of induction and to the higher parity in the vaginal insert group. In view of these results and the ease of placement and withdrawal of the vaginal device, this alternative is a valid option for cervical ripening and labor induction.
