Trial of Prophylactic Manual Rotation of Persistent Occiput Posterior Presentation During the Early Second Stage of Labor to Reduce Operative Delivery: a Prospective Multicenter Randomized Control Trial (PROPOP)

Superiority multicenter prospective randomized study on operative delivery (instrumental delivery or caesarean section) of prophylactic manual rotation in case of persistent occipital posterior presentation during the second stage of labor compared to expectant management. A 15% reduction of operative delivery (instrumental delivery or caesarean section) is attempt in the prophylactic manual rotation group.
