[A breech presentation after a cesarean section--is cesarean section always needed?].

The author has made a survey of published materials supporting the conception of selective vaginal delivery in cases of breech presentation after a previous Caesarean section. A number of such cases have been studied with expected fetus weight between 2500 and 3500 g and there have been no complications for mother or child. Vaginal delivery in cases of breech presentation and a previous Caesarean section seems acceptably safe. The possibility for a vaginal delivery provided that all obstetric requirements as regards the mother and fetus are observed has been considered.
