Induction of labor is a common obstetrical practice. In fact, the rate of induction has risen to 184/1000 live births. It is well known that a favorable Bishop score, defined as Bishop score 5-8, improves the safety and success rate for induction of labor and vaginal delivery. Several methods for cervical ripening, both mechanical and pharmacological, have been developed to improve Bishop score in women eligible for induction of labor with an unfavorable cervix. These methods include: misoprostol, dinoprostone, intracervical catheter with and without extra-amniotic saline infusion, and laminaria.
