| Summary: | Breech presentations and breech births are
reported to have increased morbidity and mortality
when compared to cephalic presentation Hall and
Kohl 1956 stated that the type of breech
influenced the perinatal morbidity and the risk of
cord prolapse with non-frank breech increased by six
folds There was also increased intrapartum and
neonatal deaths with non-frank breech presentation .
The concept of elective caesarean section in
all primigravida term frank breech needed in some to
be reviewed Caesarean section is absolutely
necessary if the biparietal diameter exceeds 10
centimetres with hyperextended head and where
inadequacy of pelvis is suspected However
caesarean delivery is not associated with a lower
risk of either perinatal mortality or
intraventricular haemorrhage in very low birth
weight infants weighing less than 1500g Denise M
Martin et al 1983 It was noted that no
significant differences found in the incidence of
lower Apgar scores traumatic birth injury or
requirement for neonatal resuscitation between those
infants delivered via caesarean section and vaginal
delivery . |
