In the maneuver,sustained traction downward and posteriorly was applied to anterior and posterior lips of the cervix using ovum forceps for approximately 90 seconds. The traction should be adequate to allow the cervix to reach the vaginal introitus. Meanwhile (CCT ) is avoided and watchful waiting for signs of placental separartion till 90 seconds end. Massage is not employed but the fundus is frequently palpaple to insure it doesnot become atonic and filled with blood from placenta separation. In cases whom placental separation did not occur within the 90 seconds, we removed the ovum forceps and waited for 30 min for the placental separation .
