Management.—The accoucheur introduces the hook in the fold of the left groin and holds it with the left hand; then gliding the index finger of his right hand in the fold of the right groin, he draws the breech in such a manner as to bring it to the first presentation. The labour is to be completed in the same manner as in the first presentation of the breech. I. When the posterior face of the sacrum corres- ponds directly to the left side of the pelvis, and that I of the thighs to the right, the presentation will be cha- racterized by the os coccygis being to the left, and I the genital parts to the right. The perineal raphe is directed transversely. Management.—Precisely the same as in the first and fourth presentations. II. When the posterior face of the sacrum cor- i! responds directly to the right side of the pelvis, and j) that of the thighs to the left, the os coccygis will be ; to the right, the genital parts to the left, and the peri- tj neal raphe transversely. Management.—Precisely the same as in the se- i cond and third presentations. III. When the posterior face of the sacrum cor- a responds directly to the pubis, and that of the thighs t to the sacrum, the presentation will be characterized by the os coccygis being behind the pubis, the geni- : tal parts before the sacrum, and the direction of the n perineal raphe from before backwards. Management.—The accoucheur may introduce '] the hook in either groin and convert the presentation into the first or second diagonal, in such a manner as](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21933091_0057.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
