Asynclitism, the most feared malposition of the fetal head during labor, still represents to date an unresolved field of interest, remaining one of the most common causes of prolonged or obstructed labor, dystocia, assisted delivery, and cesarean sec...

Asynclitism, a misalignment of the fetal head with respect to the plane of passage through the birth canal, represents a significant obstetric challenge. High degrees of asynclitism are associated with labor dystocia, difficult operative delivery, an...

Global cesarean section (CS) rates continue to rise, with the Robson classification widely used for analysis. However, Robson Group 2A patients (nulliparous women with induced labor) show disproportionately high CS rates that cannot be fully explaine...

The investigation studied the enkephalinergic neuro fibers (En) contained in the Lower Uterine Segment (LUS) during the prolonged dystocic labor (PDL) with Labor Neuraxial Analgesia (LNA). PDL is generally caused by fetal head malpositions in the Occ...

The position of the fetal head during engagement and progression in the birth canal is the primary cause of dystocic labor and arrest of progression, often due to malposition and malrotation. The authors performed an investigation on pregnant women i...

Authors investigated the catecholaminergic neurotransmitters (chNs) quantitative modifications in pregnant uterine Lower Uterine Segment (LUS) during prolonged labor (PL) with the fetus in an occiput-posterior position (OPP), in occiput transverse po...

Transverse fetal head position during labor is associated with increased rates of operative deliveries and cesarean sections. Traditional assessment methods rely on digital examination, which can be inaccurate in cases of prolonged labor. Intrapartum...

Labor management remains a critical issue in obstetrics, with dystocic labor presenting significant challenges in both management and outcomes. Recent advancements in intrapartum ultrasound have facilitated substantial progress in monitoring labor pr...
