title: Labor and delivery management of the multiple gestation.
abstract: Labor and delivery management of multiple gestations remains controversial. The authors review issues relating to the management of labor and the administration of anesthesia in twin gestations. A comprehensive review of published data pertaining to delivery route planning for twins using fetal presentation, gestational age, and estimated fetal weight is presented. Individualization of intrapartum care in twin gestations is imperative.
