[Management of delivery in podalic birth: cesarean section or vaginal delivery?].
Three hundred and thirty-six births with podalic presentation (3.15% of total deliveries) took place during the period 1978-89 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Pinerolo Hospital. The nature of the delivery, the age of pregnant women, together with the length of pregnancy, the number of previous children, the number of days spent in hospital, complications, birth weight, and Apgar scores 1 and 5 minutes after birth were recorded. The most striking result is the increase in the number of caesarean section.
