Treatment and study plan

External Pop-out

Procedure

The original techniques of fetal head extraction entail the introduction of the obstetricians' hands or other instruments into the LUS. This puts the LUS at risk of damage and incision extensions with its consequences of increased blood loss, increased operative time,infection adhesions and blood transfusion.To the available, the generated good quality evidence bases practice in CS is anticipated to decrease such morbidities

Primary outcomes

The number of cesarean sections that are required for the obstetrician to reach turning point .

Time frame: 1 month

the number needed to achieve a good learning curve
