Ripening of the cervix with extra‐amniotic prostaglandin e2 in viscous gel before induction of labour
TL;DR: A method of extra‐amniotic prostaglandin administration to achieve ripening of the cervix as a preliminary to induction of labour achieved a 25 per cent reduction in the length of the induced labour, a fall in the incidence of maternal pyrexia and fetal distress, an improvement in neonatal condition of the infants and a Reduction in the need to resort to Caesarean section.

Elective induction of labor.
TL;DR: There is justification to electively induce labor in women who show prelabor cervical dilatation so that a controled labor may be obtained and elective induction has been shown to have prophylactic value.
