Cesarean section for all twins?

Abstract:

:Twin gestations frequently involve maternal and fetal complications, and are quite often considered as "premium" pregnancies. Hence, many clinicians that follow the cliche "no high risk pregnancy should end with a high risk delivery" may deliver twins by CS for many subtle reasons, other than clear-cut, evidence-based, indications. Thus, the decision for a CS in twins, intentionally or not, is based on qualitative variables that were not quantified and on quantitative variables that suggest no advantage for CS in the majority of cases.
