Induction of labour using extra-amniotic intrauterine estrogens. Personal experience. The study was carried out in a series of 20 primagravidae in whom it was necessary to induce labour. The method used entailed the introduction, via an extra-amniotic transcervical route, of approximately 16 mg of estrogen paste. There is a full discussion of the technical details and results obtained which appear to be encouraging for the routine use of this method.
