“…Diese Untersuchungen sind in Bezug auf die Wahl des geeigneten Einleitungsverfahrens, abgesehen von der niedrigen Evidenz (El III), wenig zielführend, da adäquate Vergleichsgruppen fehlen. Die retrospektive Datenanalyse von Korb et al [37] evaluierte bei Schwangeren mit unreifer Zervix (BS < 6) die Geburtseinleitung nach Sectio mittels Doppelballonkatheter (Liegezeit bis 24 h) und anschließender Oxytocin-Gabe (n = 117) und stellte diese Gruppe einer anderen mit komplexem Einleitungsverfahren gegenüber (n = 127): 0,5 mg PGE 2 -Gel intrazervikal/Tag über 3 Tage, gefolgt von 25-50 µg vaginalem Misoprostol/Tag bis zum 7.

There are currently no up-to-date evidence-based recommendations on the preferred method to induce labour after previous Caesarean section, especially for patients with unripe cervix, as randomised controlled studies are lacking. Intravenous oxytocin and misoprostol are contraindicated in these women because of the high risk of uterine rupture. In women with ripe cervix (Bishop Score > 6), intravenous administration of oxytocin is an effective procedure with comparable rates of uterine rupture to those with spontaneous onset of labour. Vaginal prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and mechanical methods (balloon catheters, hygroscopic cervical dilators) are effective methods to induce labour in pregnant women with unripe cervix and previous Caesarean section. According to current guidelines, the administration of PGE2 is associated with a higher rate of uterine rupture compared to balloon catheters. Balloon catheters are therefore a suitable alternative to PGE2 to induce labour after previous Caesarean section, even though this is an off-label use. In addition to two meta-analyses published in 2016, 12 mostly retrospective cohort/observational studies with low to moderate levels of evidence have been published on mechanical methods of cervical ripening after previous Caesarean section. But because of the significant heterogeneity of the studies, substantial differences in study design, and insufficient numbers of pregnant women included in the studies, it is not possible to make any evidence-based recommendations based on these studies. According to a recent meta-analysis, the average rate using balloon catheters is approximately 53% and the average rate after spontaneous onset of labour is 72%. The uterine rupture rate was 0.2–0.9% for vaginal PGE2 and 0.56–0.94% for balloon catheters and is therefore comparable to the uterine rupture rate associated with spontaneous onset of labour. According to the product informations, hygroscopic cervical dilators (Dilapan-S) are currently the only method which is not contraindicated for cervical ripening/induction of labour in women with previous Caesarean section, although data are insufficient. Well-designed, randomised, controlled studies with sufficient case numbers comparing balloon catheters and hygroscopic cervical dilators with mechanical methods and vaginal prostaglandin E2/oral misoprostol are therefore necessary to allow proper decision-making.

“…This will allow for standardized protocols to be followed, thus mitigating differences in outcomes due to variations in clinical practice, increasing the generalizability of our findings. For example, cervical ripening is regularly used in women with one previous cesarean delivery in France [26][27][28]. In our team, women with one previous cesarean delivery are not contraindicated to mechanical device and its practice is usual and well framed [29].…”

Prospective observational study investigating the effectiveness, safety, women’s experiences and quality of life at 3 months regarding cervical ripening methods for induction of labor at term—The MATUCOL study protocol

et al. 2022

Background The purposes of successful induction of labor (IOL) are to shorten the time for IOL to delivery, increase the vaginal delivery rate, and reduce the rate of maternal and neonatal morbidity. In cases of unfavorable cervix (Bishop score <6), cervical ripening is advised to improve vaginal delivery rate. It may be initiated by mechanical (double balloon catheter (DBC), synthetic osmotic dilator) or pharmacologic (prostaglandins) methods, and the problem is complex due to the multitude of cervical ripening methods. We are constantly looking for the optimal protocol of cervical ripening for each woman. The present study aims to elucidate whether cervical ripening method is associated with increase rate of vaginal delivery, good women’s experience and unaltered long-term quality of life after cervical ripening at term regarding maternal and obstetric characteristics. Methods and design The MATUCOL study is a monocentric, prospective, observational study of all consecutive women who required cervical ripening (Bishop score <6) using different methods (DBC, vaginal dinoprostone, oral misoprostol) with a live fetus at term (≥37 weeks) between January 2020 and August 2021. The outcomes will be mode of delivery, maternal and neonatal morbidity, discomfort/pain assessments during cervical ripening, women’s experience and satisfaction, and the impact of cervical ripening on the health-related quality of life at 3 months. If it reports a significant efficacy/safety/perinatal morbidity/women’s satisfaction/quality of life at 3 months post-delivery associated with a method of cervical ripening in a specific situation (gestational and/or fetal disease) using a multivariate analysis, its use should be reconsidered in clinical practice. Discussion This study will reveal that some cervical ripening methods will be more effectiveness, safe, with good women’s experiences and QOL at 3 months compared to others regarding maternal and obstetric characteristics. Trial registration This study is being performed at La Roche sur Yon Hospital following registration as GNEDS on January 8, 2020.

“…For pregnant women with prior cesarean or/and placenta previa but without placenta percreta, both the Mifepristone-Misoprostol and Mifepristone-Rivanol are effective and safe methods for the termination of mid-trimester pregnancy [22] . As an acceptable method of labor induction, CDB can be safely applied to pregnant women who undergo vaginal delivery with term pregnancy [23] , or to those with history of cesarean section [24] . CDB is also a safe and effective method for labor induction with oligohydramnios or hepatorenal function impairment in the mid-trimester [25] .…”

Objective: Investigate the different methods for termination at mid-trimester in pregnant women with placenta previa. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 264 cases for termination at mid-pregnancy in our hospital, and 34 cases with placenta previa were set as the observation group, and 230 cases with normal placenta were set as control group. Among them, the preferred methods of termination at first were Mifepristone combined with Misoprostol/Rivanol in the observation group, and Mifepristone combined with Misoprostol/Rivanol/cervical double balloon (CDB) in the control group. If the volume of prenatal bleeding was up to 100 mL in the observation group, emergency artery embolization (UAE) was implemented to stop bleeding, then CDB plus with curettage were used in order. If it failed to induce in the control group, CDB was used subsequently followed with Misoprostol/Rivanol. Then, all those cases were set as the comprehensive-induce group, and the others were set as the simple-induce group.Results: the average maternal age, the number of gravidity/parities, the rate of cesarean section, the hospitalization days and cost, the induction time, the rate of postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal infection were higher in the observation group than those in the control group(p<0.05). There were 4 cases used UAE+CDB+curettage in the observation group and 6 cases used CDB after Misoprostol/Rivanol in the control group. The duration time of termination, the rate of postpartum hemorrhage and transferring to ICU, hospitalization days and cost in the comprehensive-induce group were significantly higher than those in the simple-induce group (p<0.05). All cases were delivered through vaginal successfully.Conclusion: We should pay more attention to the complications of prenatal bleeding, postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal infection during the induction at mid-trimester in pregnant women with placenta previa. Emergency UAE + CDB +curettage is a good combination method in prenatal hemorrhage of placenta previa during termination, and CDB was a good tool for cervical ripen with immature cervical condition in mid-trimester for induction of labor.
