Mode of delivery of twins

Andrew CG Breeze Gordon CS Smith

Abstrak

Perinatal mortality is five times higher in twins than in singletons. This increased risk is mainly owing to factors unrelated to mode of delivery. Nevertheless, vaginal birth of twins at term is well recognised as a high‐risk area. It is associated with increased rates of perinatal death and a depressed Apgar score, primarily because of intrapartum asphyxia of the second twin. It is plausible that planned caesarean section may have a protective effect on these outcomes but there is a lack of direct evidence in this area. This review outlines some issues to raise when counselling and planning twin birth at term.
