Abstract

Pelvimetry by Colcher-Sussman method was performed in 130 primigravida at Eul Ji hospital during the period ofFeb. 1977 to Sep. 1980. They were divided by mode of delivery retrospectively in 2 groups --- A group was 99cases who had vaginal delivery, and B group was 31 cases who have been delivered by cesarean section. Thecomparison was made between 2 groups by ANOVA test and X2 - test. The results were as followings. 1. Themeasurements of X-ray pelvimetry for 2 groups. (cm) A group B group 1. Pelvic inlet A-Pdiameter;12.80±0.9512.07±0.95 Transverse diameter;13.14±0.66 12.58±0.69 Mean diameter;12.97±0.55 12.33±0.62 2.
