Amaç
The aim of this study was to compare indications for forceps delivery in two periods.
Yöntem
Retrospective comparative study was performed. We analysed indications for forceps delivery in two periods: I (1985-1988) and II (2000-2001). Obtained data was analysed by Student's t-test. Results: in I period there were 483 forceps deliveries out of total 35.086 deliveries (1.38%), in II period 88 forceps deliveries out of total 13.186 deliveries (0,67%), t=7.52; p<0,01. Cesarean section rate in our Institute was: I period 9.2%, II period 18.81, t=-25.71; p<0,01. indications for forceps delivery were: Prolonged second stage: I period 357 (73.91%), II period 6l (69.32%), t=0.86; p>0,05. Posterior occiput position: I period 46 (9.52%), II period 15 (17.04%), t=1.78; p>0,05. Fetal distress: I period 35 (7.25%), II period 10 (11.36%), t=1.15; p>0,05. Maternal heart disease: I period 22 (4.55%), II period 2 (2.27%), t=1.23; p>0,05. Preeclampsia: I period 13 (2.69%), II period 1 (1.13%), t=1.15; p>0,05. in I period there were one diaslasis of symphysis and one uterine rupture, in II period 2 placental abruptions (2,27%) as indications for forceps delivery. No maternal deaths were noted.
Sonuç
Indications in both periods were almost same, with no significant difference between periods. Forceps delivery rate was significantly lower in second period, probably due to significantly higher cesarean section rate.
