Breech delivery: why the dilemma?

Abstract:

:A critical review of selected studies of breech delivery is presented with special attention to the statistical analysis of outcome for low birth weight and term breech delivery. Analysis of the data fails to support the routine use of cesarean birth for all cases of breech delivery except for those with hyperextension of the head. The implication of these findings is discussed.
