Abstract

141 forceps deliveries were studied. The frequency, number and type of complications were evaluated. Decreased number of forceps delivery and relatively high risk of complications in mothers and neonates were indicated. More then half of examined women in childbirth had various injuries of their birth canal. About 30% of new-borns were born with different types of birth's complications. Our results indicate that after forceps delivery the women and new-borns require special care in the perinatal period due to relatively high risk of serious complications.
