Real‐time ultrasound demonstration of successful manual rotation of fetal occiput posterior position

Abstract

Persistent fetal occiput posterior (OP) position may lead to adverse perinatal and maternal outcomes which include, but are not limited to, labor dystocia, obstetric intervention and obstetric anal sphincter injury 1,2 . Manual rotation of the fetal occiput posterior (MROP) position has been proposed as a prophylactic (i.e. to prevent labor arrest) or therapeutic (i.e. to correct labor arrest) maneuver, with the aim of correcting the malposition of the fetal head, ultimately reducing the need for operative
