The most common indications for vacuum and forceps delivery were prolonged second stage of labor (44.9%) and poor maternal effort (27.8%). The only indication for destructive operation was intrauterine fetal death (3.7%). The risk ratio (RR) for hemorrhage\/vulvar hematoma was 1.14 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.53\u20132.48) for vacuum\u2010assisted delivery and 5.49 (95% CI, 0.82\u201336.64) for forceps delivery. The RR for genital laceration was 1.21 (95% CI, 0.44\u20133.30) for vacuum\u2010assisted delivery and 9.41 (95% CI, 1.33\u201366.65) for forceps delivery. The risk of fetal scalp bruises and caput succedaneum was higher for operative vaginal delivery than for spontaneous vaginal delivery, with no significant difference in maternal morbidity.
