[Cervical maturation. Physiologic aspects and pharmacologic implications].
The latest theories on cervical maturation and the techniques of pharmacological induction of labour are summarised. The role of the prostaglandins is particularly stressed both from the physiological viewpoint and as drugs of choice for effective pharmacological induction of uterine cervix. Finally, the personal clinical protocol for the induction and management of labour is reviewed.
