[300 breech delivery in continuity (author's transl)]

G Heluin, H Hajeri, E Papiernik

    Journal De Gynecologie, Obstetrique Et Biologie De La Reproduction
    |May 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    For term breech deliveries with normal obstetrical assessments, attempting vaginal birth is safe and effective. However, cesarean section is recommended for high-risk breech pregnancies to minimize complications.

    Area of Science:

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

    Context:

    • Analysis of 300 continuous breech deliveries.
    • Review of existing literature on breech presentation management.
    • Focus on high-risk subgroups: small for date, preterm, and multiple pregnancies.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of different management strategies for term breech presentations.
    • To identify specific risk factors influencing delivery outcomes.
    • To refine guidelines for selecting between vaginal breech delivery and cesarean section.

    Summary:

    • Vaginal delivery is successful in 60% of term breech cases with normal obstetric evaluations, showing minimal morbidity and mortality.
    • Systematic cesarean sections are not indicated for all term breeches.
    • Cesarean delivery is the preferred approach for high-risk breech pregnancies, including those with preterm labor, fetal growth restriction, or multiple gestations.

    Impact:

    • Informs clinical decision-making for breech presentation management.
    • Reduces unnecessary cesarean interventions in low-risk term breech cases.
    • Improves perinatal outcomes by optimizing delivery mode selection for high-risk pregnancies.
