Summary, etc. &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;The stillbirth rate for singletons in the UK is approximately 5.3/1,000 births/year. Macrosomic babies are associated with obstructed labour and shoulder dystocia. Some 3.3% of stillborns weigh over 4 kg, when such problems are likely to be encountered. In developed countries, caesarean section is regarded as being more civilised than destructive operations for obstructed labour prior to full cervical dilatation in an interuterine death. However, when the cervix is fully dilated or severe shoulder dystocia is encountered, fetal destructive operations have half the maternal mortality rate of that associated with caesarean section, with fewer long-term sequelae. A significant obstacle in performing destructive operations in developed countries is the lack of skilled practitioners. It is difficult to acquire these skills in the UK, however simulated training can be provided with manikins. We feel mothers should be informed of the alternative of a destructive operation, potentially avoiding unnecessary caesarean section.&lt;/span&gt;
