Abstract:
This retrospective study analysed the way of completing a breech delivery. The period between 2002-2005 at GAK Sarajevo was observed. The number of deliveries in this period was 7017, and out of total there were 245 breech presentation cases, making up 3,49 % of total deliveries. T'Ihe goal was to examine breech presentations in pregnant women with at least 37 weeks of gestation, our testing group consisted of 123 patients which makes up half the total number of breech presentations. We also observed occurence of patological conditions in pregnancy (EPH gestosis, RVP, dysproportio, oligo i polihydramnion), mother's diseses history (ST post SC, ST post conisationem, uterine malformations, luxatio coxae, epilepsy), as well as mother's age and number of previous deliveries. Out of 123 pregnancies, 79 (64,22 %) were completed by SC, 43 (34,95 %) were vaginal - manually assisted: Bracht-Veit-Smellie 24 (55,8 %) and Muller-Veit-Smellie 18 (41,8 %). Out of total number of pregnant women observed, 73 (59,34 %) had first delivery, 41 (33,33 %) second delivery, 4 (3,5 %) had third delivery, 1 (0,81 %) had fourth delivery, 2 (1,62 %) fifth delivery, 1 (0,81 %) sixt delivery and 1 (0.81 %) seventh delivery.
