Abstract

(Abstracted from Lancet 2024;405:1743-1756) Shoulder dystocia is associated with several maternal and neonatal complications and is a common reason for litigation in obstetrics. Maternal complications include hemorrhage and third- and fourth-degree perineal severe tears; neonatal complications include fractures, brachial plexus injury, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, and neonatal death.
