Is planned vaginal delivery for breech presentation at term still an option? Results of an observational prospective survey in France and Belgium
Article Abstract:
A significant excess risk associated with planned vaginal delivery is not found compared with planned cesarean for women with singleton fetus in breech presentation at term in centers where planned vaginal delivery remains a widespread practice and in complying with rigorous conditions before and during labor. Thus, planned vaginal delivery of singleton fetuses in breech presentation at term remains a sage clinical option that can be offered to women.

Oral analgesia compared with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia for pain after cesarean delivery: A randomized controlled trial
Article Abstract:
Study is conducted to determine whether oral analgesia with oxycodone-acetaminophen or a patient- controlled analgesia device with morphine provides superior analgesia after cesarean delivery. Results show that oral analgesia with oxycodone-acetaminophen may offer superior pain control after cesarean delivery with fewer side-effects as compared with morphine patient- controlled analgesia.
