What are the methods used in delivery of placenta?

Andrew
There are two methods used in the delivery of the placenta;
1. Cord traction
In this method, the surgeon performs an external uterine massage and gently draws the already exposed umbilical cord to facilitate delivery.

2. Manual removal
Here, the obstetrician manually introduces their hand into the uterine cavity to cleave the placenta from the center of the endometrium soon after the delivery of the infant.
