    AbstractThe authors studied the possibilities of vaginal labour management by induction after previous caesarean section. They compared the effectiveness of oxytocin and prostaglandins in uterus action. A total of 48 patients after previous caesarean section were induced, 26 by oxytocin and 22 by prostaglandins. The success of the induction was 30.7% with oxytocin and 95.4% with prostaglandins. Compared were also both the incidence of complications during labour and the effect of the uterotonic used on the fetus. It follows from the results that local application of prostaglandins is more advantageous than overall application and carries practically no risk for the patient in labour.
