Abstract
This systematic review aims to determine if there are evidence-based recommendations for the optimal mode of delivery for non-cephalic presenting first- and/or second twins. We investigated the impact of the mode of delivery on neonatal outcome for twin deliveries with (1) the first twin (twin A) in non-cephalic presentation, (2) the second (twin B) in non-cephalic presentation and (3) both twins in non-cephalic presentation.Keywords
