Abstract
Indications for induction of labor should be of such significance that abdominal delivery is justified if satisfactory labor and vaginal delivery fail to occur in a reasonable period. The results of induction of labor in a one year period at the Toronto General Hospital show a low incidence of induction and a low morbidity and mortality. The author emphasizes the need for a conservative approach to this procedure and for careful examination of each patient in determining whether or not labor should be induced.
