Comparison of two methods of delivery of the deeply engaged fetal head at Cesarean delivery
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Although Cesarean delivery (CD) is the most common surgical procedure employed by the Obstetrician, vaginal delivery is the generally preferred mode of delivery by most women. But, sometimes while awaiting vaginal delivery, due to various factors mentioned below, the fetal head gets impacted during the second stage of labour. The impacted fetal head is then delivered by one of several described methods which could give rise to increased maternal and neonatal morbidity. This could lead to failed instrumental delivery with its attendant morbidity as well. The fetal head is said to be impacted when the station of the fetal head is below the Ischial spines on vaginal examination and the head cannot be easily delivered
