 Contexto del término
Persistent occiput posterior position is defined by the fetal head being in a posterior position during the second stage of labor, whatever the mode of delivery.1 The incidence of delivery in the occiput posterior position varies from 5% to 12%.2-4 For several decades, it has been acknowledged that delivery in the posterior position is associated with an increased rate of operative delivery.2-7 Various methods were proposed to facilitate rotation from occiput posterior to occiput anterior during labor to reduce the rate of operative delivery.
