“…Brenner et al [20] found similar perinatal mortality rates and Apgar scores between patients with breech presentation in whom labor was induced by oxytocin alone, or combined with artificial rupture of membranes, and patients who delivered spontaneously. Rovinsky et al [21] reported that the use of oxytocin for induction of labor in breech presentation is safe. In both studies [20,21], the number of patients in whom labor was induced, indications for induction and cervical conditions prior to induction, were not reported.…”

Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of labor induction in women with a breech presentation, and an unripe cervix. We conducted a retrospective, matched-paired study on patients with breech presentation and an unripe cervix (n = 23), who underwent induction of labor using extra-amniotic saline instillation. The women were compared to three matched control groups: 46 women with vertex presentation and an unripe cervix, whose labor was induced by the same method, 23 with breech presentation who underwent a vaginal trial of labor, and 23 women with breech presentation who underwent a cesarean section without a trial of labor. In the study group, 12 women (52.2%) delivered vaginally. Rates of Apgar score, birth trauma, and maternal morbidity were similar in all groups. Induction of labor in patients with a breech presentation and an unripe cervix may be attempted in selected cases as it seems to be efficacious (vaginal delivery rate of 52.2%) and safe for both fetus and mother.

“…De même, Rovinsky et al [30] ont constaté une mortalité périnatale significativement plus importante parmi les femmes qui avaient eu une radiopelvimétrie ayant conduit à accepter une épreuve du travail et un accouchement par voie basse, probablement parce que les obstétriciens avaient été trop confiants vis-à-vis des résultats de la pelvimétrie. Comme Berkowitz et Fine [31] l'ont également souligné, d'autres facteurs que la pelvimétrie devraient être considérés dans la décision d'accouchement par voie basse de la présentation du siège : l'estimation de poids foetal, la progression du travail et l'engagement.…”

“…On the other hand, opinions diverge about the ideal rate of cesarean section in term (> 37 weeks) breech deliveries. Thus a liberal use of cesarean section has been recommended by some authors [18] whereas by others it has been proposed as a routine procedure [19]. Earlier studies have evaluated the fetal outcome in terms of perinatal or neonatal complications but not the long-term morbidity and the rate of permanent neurological sequelae.…”
