The<unk>  is an obstetric maneuver that involves pushing back the delivered fetal head into the birth canal in anticipation of performing a cesarean section in cases of shoulder dystocia. The<unk>  is performed only after other maneuvers have failed, as it is associated with high risk to both the mother and the fetus. A review published in 1985 found that 84 of 92 cases of<unk>  were successful in replacing the head of the fetus back into the uterus. Risks of the maneuver to the mother include soft tissue damage and puerperal sepsis. The<unk>  is not performed very often in the United States. It is named after William Angelo "Bill"<unk>  (born October 10, 1926), who performed the procedure on January 18, 1978 as a clinical instructor in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of California, San Francisco.
