Popis: Background: Induction of labor is a crucial and customary clinical procedure in obstetrics. It is arguably one of the most abused procedures. Cervical ripening determines the success of delivery. The availability of newer oxytocics and induction techniques which are simpler and also more predictable has significantly modified our traditionally conservative attitude toward induction of labor. Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Foleys catheter against prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) gel for pre-induction cervical ripening. Materials and Methods: Women attending hospital for induction of labor, with a Bishop’s score
