Description

<p>Many facilities in Japan currently perform elective cesarean section for term singleton breech presentation, and young doctors training in obstetrics and gynecology may not have had a chance to experience vaginal breech delivery. However, vaginal breech delivery remains an option if comprehensive informed consent is obtained. To reduce the incidence of nuchal arm, “transverse figure 8 breech delivery (TF8 maneuver)” has been widely recommended in Japan. This review discusses trends in mode of breech delivery in Japan, with a focus on the TF8 maneuver.</p>
