Zusammenfassung:Internal podalic version of the second twin in transverse lie has usually been performed after first rupturing the membranes of the second amniotic sac.

From our experience, it appears that this modified technique, when used within the presented guidelines, offers a reasonable alternative for the safe delivery of the second twin.
