Abstract Objective: To explore the clinical effect and safety of cervical balloon on induction of cervical maturation in full-term gestational women with previous cesareans. Methods: Forty-five full-term gestational women with scar uterus were recruited as the experimental group and 45 full-term pregnancy women without scar uterus as the control group. Women in both groups used cervical ripening balloon for preinduction of cervical ripening and labor induction. The degree of cervical ripening, vaginal delivery rate, and stages of labor, delivery outcome and adverse reactions between two groups were compared respectively. Results: There were no significant difference in the efficiency of inducing cervical maturation between the two groups (80% vs. 85%, P >0.05). The vaginal delivery rate in the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (62% vs. 82%, P<0.05). Adverse reaction was found in two cases of the experimental group, and there was no significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in stages of labor and pregnancy outcome between two groups (P <0.05). Conclusion: The effect of cervical ripening balloon on induction of cervical maturation in full-term gestational women with or without previous cesareans is valuable and worth clinical application.
