Caesarean section for breech presentation
A caesarean section is safer than vaginal breech delivery and recommended in cases of:
· gestation less than 34 weeks;
· footling breech;
· small or malformed pelvis;
· large fetus (more than 3500 grams);
· previous caesarean section;
· hyperextension of the fetal head;
· intrauterine growth restriction.
