Vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) for breech singletons at term – A prospective evaluation

Introduction: Although breech presentation occurs in 3 –4% of all term deliveries, the clinical management of those patients is still a controversially discussed topic among experts. Despite missing empirical evidence, a planned cesarean is often recommended to women with a prior cesarean section. Further research is inevitable to develop a guideline for breech deliveries, encourage vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) in breech and prevent unnecessary elective cesarean sections.
