Abstract

BACKGROUND: External cephalic version could be an alternative to either vaginal delivery or caesarean section in breech presentation at term. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A systematic literature review about external cephalic version in breech presentation. RESULTS: The numbers of breech presentation delivered by caesarean section could probably be reduced in Norway by offering version, but this would not affect perinatal mortality.
