The best time for twin delivery is at 38 or 39 weeks gestation. Systematic Caesarean section or induction is decided upon during these weeks. Thanks to this policy, the good results formerly obtained have been maintained and an important decrease in emergency Caesarean sections has been noted thus reducing the risks inherent in this method. However, a randomized trial is necessary to confirm these results.
