Article Abstract
Background: Podalic version and breech extraction require high obstetrical expertise. Identifying fetal extremities is the first crucial step for trainees. When this skill is not polished enough, it increases the inter-twin delivery interval and can even jeopardize the whole manoeuver.
Material And Methods: We present a model for simulating and training this specific skill, with obstetrical mannequin, and 3D printed hands and feet. Five feet and five hands (five rights and five lefts of each one) were printed in 3D after initial ultrasound acquisition of a near term fetus. Each foot and hand, was individually set in a condom filled with 100 cc of water and closed with a knot. A Sophie's Mum Birth Simulator Version 4.0 de MODEL-med was placed on the edge of the table. Each hand and foot was inserted into the pelvic mannequin. An evaluation of the students' skills using this model was performed. A significant reduction of the global mean to extract the first foot and all the feet was noticed at three month of interval.
Conclusion: This model is an option to train and assess a crucial skill for version and breech extraction.

Background: Simulation-based training has become a cornerstone in obstetrics education, offering valuable opportunities to practice rare and complex procedures in a controlled environment. The importance of simulation in obstetrics and gynecology is well documented internationally, particularly in improving clinical skills and patient safety.In some countries, certain obstetric procedures, such as vaginal breech delivery or shoulder dystocia management, are infrequently performed, which highlights the challenge of ensuring that practitioners are adequately prepared for these rare events.

Introduction: This study assessed the efficacy of induction of labour in twin pregnancies relative to singleton pregnancies within a predominantly Chinese patient population.
Methods: This retrospective case-matched cohort study included patients with twin pregnancies who underwent induction of labour at our institution in Hong Kong between 2012 and 2020. Patients with twin pregnancies were matched one-to-one with singleton pregnancies based on parity, maternal age, and the indication for induction of labour.
Vaginal delivery of the second twin: simulation to improve trainee knowledge and comfort.

Background: Vaginal delivery in twins is feasible but challenging. Successful vaginal delivery of a non-vertex second twin depends on knowledge of specific obstetrical maneuvers. Skill acquisition at the patient's bedside is difficult, making simulation training an integral part of obstetrics and gynecology residency programs.

Article Synopsis
- Difficult fetal extraction during cesarean sections is mainly caused by a deeply impacted fetal head and floating fetus presentation, with limited scientific evidence supporting various management techniques.
- Maternal complications from managing a deeply impacted fetal head include lacerations and hematomas, while neonates may suffer serious issues like hemorrhage, fractures, nerve injuries, and perinatal asphyxia.
- The abdominovaginal delivery method is linked to higher complications, while the internal podalic version followed by pelvic extraction is a distinct approach for floating fetal presentations.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers demonstrate a new use of intrapartum sonography to help with the delivery of a second twin positioned sideways (transverse).
- After successfully delivering the first twin, they utilized ultrasound guidance to turn the second twin into a breech position for delivery.
- This process resulted in a smooth and healthy birth for the second twin, showcasing the effectiveness of ultrasound in complicated labor situations.
