Summary

Induction of labor is frequently performed in all obstetric clinics. Failed IOL has been defined in many different ways.Bishop scoring, which is a traditional and subjective method, is more frequently evaluated with cervical length, which has taken its place in preterm labor, and various ultrasonographic evaluations such as Uterocervical angle (UCA), Posterior cervical angle (PCA), cervical elastography, transvulvar ultrasonography, which have recently increased in popularity, have gained importance and led us to evaluate these parameters in our clinic. The relationship between the angles between the uterus and cervix and labor has been known for some time.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Uterocervical angle

With the patient in the lithotomy position and empty bladder, care was taken to avoid applying pressure to the cervix with the transvaginal probe. The cervix was aligned in the midline, and the endocervical canal was visualized throughout its length.During cervical measurement, care was taken to ensure that the internal os, external os, and entire endocervical canal were visible in the same image. With the endocervical canal, external os, and internal os linearly displayed on the screen, the angle between the endocervical canal, anterior and posterior uterine segment was measured using the ultrasound's "angle measurement" feature.For the measurement of the uterocervical angle, the first line of the angle was defined along the endocervical canal used for measuring cervical length, and the second line was drawn from the internal os along the anterior uterine segment for a minimum of two centimeters. The angle between these two lines was recorded as the uterocervical angle in the form.
