Abstract/OtherAbstract:
When cesarean section is performed before labor has lengthened and attenuated the lower uterine segment one may encounter considerable difficulty delivering the floating fetal head. The result is often either traumatic or deliberate extension of the uterine incision and undue delay in delivering the infant. This report describes a practical technique to facilitate delivery of the infant in this difficult circumstance.
