    Vaginal delivery is possible in 90% of breech presentation cases, with a low mortality rate for healthy newborns. Cesarean section is reserved for specific complications, avoiding unnecessary interventions.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine

    Context:

    • Analysis of 581 breech presentation cases from 1966-1974.
    • Evaluation of delivery methods and associated outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the feasibility and safety of vaginal delivery for breech presentations.
    • To determine optimal management strategies and reduce perinatal mortality.

    Summary:

    • Vaginal delivery was successful in 90% of breech cases, utilizing the Lövset and Veit-Smellie methods.
    • Cesarean section was performed in 9.5% of cases, with an overall newborn mortality of 14%.
    • Excluding premature, non-viable, or malformed infants, mortality decreased to 5.6%; perinatal mortality for infants over 2500g was 0.69%.

    Impact:

  • Supports vaginal delivery as the preferred method for breech presentations when feasible.
  • Suggests against a general increase in Cesarean section indications for breech births.
  • Highlights the importance of careful case selection to minimize perinatal mortality.
