Breech presentation is the most common of malpresentations, occurring in 3-4% of all term deliveries. The fetus may adopt breech presentation because of many factors. In the past, the mode of delivery (vaginal or abdominal) was determined by clinical considerations. Current recommendations are for cesarean section in all breech presentations. Successful External Cephalic Version is the only effective way to avoid cesarean section in breech presentation. Considering success rates and related factors, this review article emphasizes the importance of considering ECV to every woman with breech presentation.
臀位是最常见的胎位异常，占所有足月分娩的3%-4%。胎儿可能由于多种因素而呈臀位。过去，分娩方式（阴道分娩或剖宫产）由临床因素决定。目前的建议是所有臀位均行剖宫产。成功的外倒转术是避免臀位剖宫产的唯一有效方法。考虑到成功率及相关因素，这篇综述文章强调了对每位臀位孕妇考虑外倒转术的重要性。
