Since publication of the Term Breech Trial in the year 2000,
planned caesarean section (CS) is the preferred mode of delivery
for term breech presentation in most countries [3,4]. In The
Netherlands, CS rates in term breech presentation increased from
50% to over 80% after publication of this trial [5]. In preterm breech
presentation, the mode of delivery is controversial. In many
countries, CS is applied for preterm breech presentation. In The
Netherlands, women with preterm labour and a child in a breech
presentation deliver vaginally more often as compared to other
developed countries. [
