Gary PY - 2017 T2 - Cunningham and Gilstrap's Operative Obstetrics, 3e AB - Just more than 15 years have elapsed since the publication of the Term Breech Trial. This is the largest randomized trial to compare planned vaginal and planned cesarean delivery for women carrying breech fetuses at term (Hannah, 2000). This monumental effort involved 121 centers in 26 countries. Its results provide many of the core tenets that shape current delivery practices. The authors interpreted their findings to indicate that planned cesarean delivery was the safest method to minimize neonatal morbidity and mortality rates. A secondary conclusion showed no difference in maternal morbidity rates between the two delivery routes. Obviously, they did not consider an abdominal incision and hysterotomy to be a morbid outcome.
