Abstract
Labor arrest is estimated to account for approximately one-third of all primary cesarean deliveries, and is associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. One of the main causes is the mismatch between the size of the birth canal and that of the fetus, a condition usually referred to as cephalopelvic disproportion.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
