Abstract
External cephalic version (ECV) for breech presentation tit term subst antially reduces the incidence of breech birth and cesarean section. A ppropriate counseling and surveillance is important to ensure an accep tably low complication rate and reduce potential for litigation. Even a high success rate for ECV only minimally reduces the overall cesarea n section rate.
