Intravaginal prostaglandin (PG) E2 has been shown to ripen the cervix before induction and to shorten labor when the fetal presentation is cephalic. This study reports the influence of PGE2 gel on induction and labor in 13 primigravid patients with unfavorable cervixes and breech presentation. The results were compared with 25 similarly treated primigravidae with cephalic presentations. Comparable cervical ripening was achieved in the breech and cephalic groups; labors were of similar duration and the incidence of cesarean section was not significantly different in the breech patients. There were no unwanted fetal or maternal effects associated with the gel. PGE2 gel is an effective aid to induction of labor when the cervix is unfavorable and the breech presents in otherwise uncomplicated pregnancies.
