    Vaginal delivery for singleton breech presentation did not increase cesarean rates but showed high perinatal mortality and prematurity. Footling breech deliveries had increased cord prolapse, highlighting the need for experienced medical teams.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Singleton breech presentation is a common obstetric challenge.
    • Vaginal delivery in breech presentation requires careful management.
    • Previous studies have shown varied outcomes for planned vaginal breech delivery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of planned vaginal delivery for singleton breech presentation.
    • To assess the incidence of cesarean sections, perinatal mortality, and prematurity.
    • To identify factors influencing breech labor and delivery complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 156 consecutive singleton breech presentations.
    • Analysis of planned vaginal delivery cases.

  • Comparison with overall hospital and clinic confinement data.

    • Main Results:

    • Cesarean section incidence was not elevated compared to all hospital confinements.
    • High rates of perinatal mortality and prematurity were observed.
    • Increased incidence of cord prolapse, particularly in footling breech presentations.

    Conclusions:

    • Planned vaginal delivery for singleton breech presentation is feasible without increased cesarean rates.
    • High perinatal mortality and prematurity necessitate experienced obstetric and anesthetic teams.
    • External cephalic version remains a valuable intervention to reduce adverse perinatal outcomes.
