title: [Results of 4 years' use of oxytocin and prostaglandins F2 alpha for ripening with postterm indications after the 41st week of amenorrhea].
abstract: The authors report a comparative study between the maturing and induction technique by prostaglandins F2 alpha and pitocin, and a reference population in spontaneous labor in extended pregnancies after 41 weeks and more of complete amenorrhea. It appears from this study that the severe fetal pathology linked to post-maturity has completely disappeared, but at the price of a higher rate of cesarean sections no matter which technique was used: pitocin or prostaglandins.
