  Summary: What we mean by pelvic presentation of the embryo is vertical position of the foetus with a front position of the pelvis. This kind of presentation is on average met in 3-4% of all monofoetal deliveries and belongs to relatively rare presentations. Over a five-year period (1998-2002) at the gynaecological-obstetrician ward of the Health Care Centre in Zaječar we monitored the ending of delivery with pelvic presentation, as well as the assistance of the obstetrician on that occasion. There were 140 deliveries with pelvic presentation and we monitored their endings, the parity of deliveries, as well as the Apgar score of newborn babies. In 63 cases we performed caesarean sections, in 72 cases we applied Bracht method, in 5 cases Smellie-Veit manoeuvre, once Lovset method and once a V.E. was placed. Deliveries of embryos with pelvic presentation through vagina were always followed by high perinatal mortality and morbidity. Assistance of the obstetrician in such a delivery always should and had to occur at some moment of embryo expulsion and any belated or premature action could have fatal consequences for the embryo in the first place and then for the mother. Good clinical observation, adequate application of the ultrasound, CTG apparatus, patience and expertise of the obstetrician are the most important prerequisites for successful completion of this risky obstetric action.
Key words: pelvic presentation, obstetrician assistance, grips
