Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of cervix ripening with vaginal controlled-release Propess. Patients and methods:A retrospective study of all women who underwent cervical ripening with Propess during the study period from 1st January 2002 to 31st December 2004 was carried out. A total of 130 patients who experienced Propess was compared with the next following patient who delivered spontaneously matched on gestational age. Modes of delivery,failure of labor,maternal morbidity were recorded. Results:Indications for induction of labor were:post-term pregnancies in 18.5%,pre-eclampsia in 20.8%,oligohydroamnios in 18.5%,post-term pregnancy and oligohydramnios in 10.8%,intra-uterine fetal growth in 6.9%,premature rupture of membranes in 6.9%,diminution of fetal mobility in 6.1%and miscellaneous in 11.5%. Failure of cervical ripening was 21.2%. Patients in the Propess group had a 3.5 fold higher risk of Cesarean section 95%CI:1.5-8.3; P < 0.04 . There was no case of maternal or fetal death. There was no difference in incidence of maternal complications,and post-partum haemorrhage. Discussion and conclusion:Use of vaginal pessary Propess does not induce adverse maternal or fetal morbidity. However,it was associated with a higher incidence of Cesarean delivery.
