Materials and Methods: Retrospective comparison between 30 vaginal breech deliveries (Group 1) and 252 caesarean deliveries (Group 2) done for singleton breech presentation between 36 weeks to 42 weeks, either in early or advanced labour conducted between January 2015-January 2022 at various Military Hospitals.
