Vaginal versus cesarean section oriented approaches in the management of breech delivery. 1985

E Confino, and B Ismajovich, and A Sherzer, and R M Peyser, and M P David

In a 5-year retrospective study, 543 singleton breech presented infants weighing more than 1000 g were reviewed in two obstetric departments. Department "A" actively conducted the labor with lower cesarean section rate (26%). Department "B" attempted a trial of labor with less invasive procedures and performed more cesarean sections (38% P less than 0.05 S). The management of labor, fetal and maternal outcome were compared between the two departments. Both vaginal and abdominal routes of delivery in fetuses weighing more than 1500 g resulted in the same fetal and maternal outcome. For fetuses weighing 1000-1500 g cesarean section is probably the recommended delivery route.
