Abstract

In a 5-year retrospective study, 543 singleton breech presented infants weighing more than 1000 g were reviewed in two obstetric departments. Department "A" actively conducted the labor with lower cesarean section rate (26%). Department "B" attempted a trial of labor with less invasive procedures and performed more cesarean sections (38% P < 0.05 S). The management of labor, fetal and maternal outcome were compared between the two departments. Both vaginal and abdominal routes of delivery in fetuses weighing more than 1500 g resulted in the same fetal and maternal outcome. For fetuses weighing 1000-1500 g cesarean section is probably the recommended delivery route.
