assistant
The correct answer is  Removal of placenta must be done by controlled cord traction (Brandt and Andrews method) or waiting for spontaneous placental separation. Excessive cord traction may inadveently cause uterine inversion. Credes method is obsolete because of high risk of retention of placental bits.
