We reviewed 5,375 deliveries performed between the years 2007 and 2012, only 146 were delivered by OVD.\u2009\u2009<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Only 1.0% of the cases had a serious, life-threatening situation (uterine rupture). The Simpson forceps was the most favored instrument (46%) due to its simplicity of use, effectiveness, and familiarity. Prophylactic use was the most common indication (30.8%) and significant complications observed were vaginal lacerations (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.016<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>), relative risk (RR) of 3.4 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.15\u201310.04), and fourth degree perineal tear (<mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M2\"><mml:mi>p<\/mml:mi><mml:mo>=<\/mml:mo><mml:mn>0.016<\/mml:mn><\/mml:math>), RR of 3.4 (95% CI: 1.15\u201310.04).<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>.
