Abstract
I read with interest the article “Mode of Delivery Following Successful External Cephalic Version” by Ben-Haroush et al (Am J Perinatol 2002; 19:355-360). The authors noted an increased risk of cesarean for malpresentation and dystocia following successful external cephalic version (ECV). Our study previously published in the same journal, yet not referenced by these authors, found no differences in the length of labor or mode of delivery (spontaneous vaginal, operative vaginal, or cesarean) after ECV as compared to controls with naturally vertex fetuses.[1] Another investigation by Siddiqui et al, and also not referenced by Ben-Haroush et al, failed to demonstrate an increase in cesareans following successful ECV.[2]
