Amaç
The aim of this study was to compare maternal morbidity after forceps delivery in two periods.
Yöntem
We analysed parity and maternal morbidity after forceps delivery in two periods: I (1985-1988) and II (2000-2001). Retrospective comparative study was performed. Obtained data was analysed by Student's t-test.
Bulgular
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. Primiparous: I period 405 (83.85%), II 72 (81.18%) t=0,46; p>0,05. Multiparous: 1 period 78 (16.15%), II 16 (18.82%) t=-0,46; p>0,05. Maternal morbidity: Cervical lacerations: I period 141 (29.19%), II period 25 (28.41%) t=0.15; p>0,05. Vaginal lacerations: I period 80 (16.56%), II period 13 (14.77%) t=0.43; p>0,05. Perineal lacerations (I/II degree): I period 19 (3.93%), II period 6 (6.82%) t=1.02; p>0,05. Perineal lacerations (III degree): I period 5 (1.04%), II period 2 (2.27%) t=0.75; p>0,05.
Sonuç
No significant differences in parity were found. Due to the fact that forceps deliveries in both periods were performed by skilled obstetricians maternal morbidity did not differ significantly between compared periods.
