Deals with the different aspects of breech presentation and delivery and their management. This book also advises on how to carry out a successful vaginal delivery in the breech.
European Practice in Gynaecology and Obstetrics is a series of books published under the auspices of EBCOG. In each volume, the specialist will find a review of basic science, recent concepts in pathophysiology, clinical aspects, imaging, treatment and unresolved problems or controversies, and up-to-date references.

At the 5th European Congress of Perinatal Medicine in 1976, on the basis of a careful evaluation of vaginal breech deliveries, it was claimed that a caesarean section should be performed in every case of breech presentation to reduce the danger of perinatal mortality and morbidity at to perform a relatively safe operation for the mother at a pre-determined time. Whether or not this recommendation is justified is the principle consideration of this book on breech presentation and delivery. Some obstetricians do not feel a caesarian section is necessary for each case of breech presentation, and consider maternal morbidity following caesarian section must also be taken into account.

This book deals with the different aspects of breech presentation and delivery and their management. It also advises on how to carry out a successful vaginal delivery in the breech.
