    Cesarean section is increasingly used for breech presentation to reduce perinatal loss. This approach, combined with skilled delivery techniques, is vital for minimizing infant mortality and morbidity, especially in premature infants.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Neonatal Care

    Background:

    • Breech presentation is linked to significant perinatal loss, primarily due to prematurity, congenital anomalies, and birth trauma.
    • Cesarean section rates have risen in an effort to mitigate these risks associated with breech births.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of cesarean section on perinatal outcomes in singleton breech presentations.
    • To determine the safety and efficacy of different delivery methods for breech infants.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 330 singleton breech pregnancies.
    • Analysis of delivery methods (vaginal vs. cesarean section) and associated perinatal outcomes.
    • Identification of factors contributing to preventable mortality and morbidity.

    Main Results:

    • Cesarean section was performed in 74.2% of breech deliveries.
    • Fetal compromise was infrequent and occurred in both vaginal and cesarean deliveries.
    • Preventable mortality and significant morbidity were concentrated in infants weighing less than 1,300 gm.
    • Morbidity was similar between term infants delivered vaginally and via cesarean section.

    Conclusions:

    • A liberal policy for cesarean section in breech presentation is recommended to minimize perinatal loss.
    • Skilled manual techniques for vaginal breech delivery remain essential.
    • Careful management is crucial, particularly for low birth weight infants.
