ReviewCesarean delivery on maternal request: maternal and neonatal complications.
A complicated but relevant and timely concept, cesarean delivery on maternal request (CDMR) is defined as a cesarean delivery for a singleton pregnancy on maternal request at term in the absence of medical or obstetrical indications. ⋯ Discussions regarding CDMR should be individualized. Until there are more data on CDMR and guidelines implemented, an explicitly executed informed consent should form the framework of any decision regarding mode of delivery.
