Elective caesarean is the optimal mode of delivery for allFrom: Danny Tucker (danny.tucker@dial.pipex.com)Mon Jun 3 14:11:13 1996
Friends, A recent Lancet article presented data showing that a large percentage of female obstetricians would like to opt for an elective c/s following an uncomplicated pregnancy. Similarly for the male Obs and their pregnant wives. The main reasons given were fear of perineal damage and urogynae problems in the future. We have a debate at our hospital in the near future. The topic to be debated is: Elective caesarean is the optimal mode of delivery for all. Our Consultant is the protagonist, and I was hoping to get some assistance from the 'rest of the world' via the ob-gyn-l Please send me an e-mail saying what your work position is, what country you are from and whether you personally (or for your wife) would prefer an elective c/s in the following 2 scenarios: 1. Uncomplicated past obstetric history and present pregnancy, vertex presentation. 2. Favourable breech presentation - eg. multiparous, breech well down, spontaneous labour, estimated weight 3kg. Also, if you have any references regarding the complications & disadvantages of vaginal delivery relative to c/s, that would be helpful. Please post to me by e-mail and I will summarise the results, with a comparison to the Lancet data. We have >300 on this list I believe, so let's have a good turn out!! Thanks, Danny. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Danny Tucker --------------------------------------------------------------------- Nottingham, UK -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- danny.tucker@dial.pipex.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------
