Author(s): Preeti Darda, Dipali Patil and Amit Agrawal
Abstract: Instrumental vaginal delivery (IVD) remains a vital obstetric intervention used to expedite birth in the second stage of labor when maternal or fetal indications arise. Despite advancements in obstetrics, the decision between forceps and vacuum extraction (ventouse) continues to be influenced by operator skill, fetal position, and safety considerations. This article reviews maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with forceps and vacuum-assisted deliveries, highlighting comparative benefits, risks, and clinical implications.
