Abstract:Background and objective: Mechanical strategies incorporate the insertion of a balloon catheter or placement of a hygroscopic dilator. Balloon catheters were utilized within the larger part of past trials comparing mechanical and pharmacologic strategies. The objectives of this study were to compare the efficacy and safety of hygroscopic dilators and balloon catheters for ripening of the cervix in induction of labor. Methods: This study was a single-canter, nonrandomized, open-label trial conducted on particip… Show more
