Abstract

External cephalic version (ECV) is a non-invasive procedure performed to reposition a breech fetus into the cephalic position before labor, thus reducing the risk of cesarean delivery. This study aims to examine pregnancy outcomes following external cephalic version for breech presentation. A retrospective analysis of maternal and neonatal outcomes was conducted among women who underwent ECV for breech presentation at a tertiary care center over a specified period. Data on the success rate of ECV, mode of delivery, neonatal outcomes, and maternal complications were collected and analyzed. The findings provide insights into the safety and effectiveness of ECV in improving pregnancy outcomes for women with breech-presenting fetuses.
