  • Title: Late results of cesarean and vaginal delivery in cases of breech presentation.
    Author: Huchcroft SA, Wearing MP, Buck CW.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1981 Oct 01; 125(7):726-30. PubMed ID: 7326655.
    Abstract:
    This study compared the subsequent development of children in breech presentation according to the method of their delivery - vaginal or cesarean section. No differences were found between children born vaginally and those born by cesarean section after some labour, except for a larger variability in the outcomes of the latter group. Only 4% of the deliveries were by cesarean section without labour, and when analysed separately the data for this group frequently showed the poorest outcome. Reasons for the observations are suggested, and proposed further research is outlined.
