  • Title: [Optimum delivery methods in breech presentation].
    Author: Muth H, Hannemann H, Kropshofer H.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1977 Feb 10; 95(6):371-4. PubMed ID: 838461.
    Abstract:
    In 581 cases of breech presentation during the years 1966--1974 in 90% of cases delivery was possible vaginally. We prefered the method of Lövset und Veit-Smellie. Casarian section was performed in 9,5% of the cases, the mortality of the newborns was 14%. Without the premature newborns (less than 1000 gr), the cases of intrauterine deaths and not viable children with malformations the mortality was 5,6%. The perinatal mortality of the children or more than 2500 gr was merely 0,69%. The general enlargement of the indication for Caesarian section is not recommended.
