Comparison of Cesarean Sections Performed in the Second Stage of Labor and Vacuum-assisted Vaginal Delivery
Journal Title: European Archives of Medical Research - Year 2020, Vol 36, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: Cesarean section or operative vaginal delivery can be performed in the second stage of labor. The aim of our study was to compare cesarean deliveries performed in the second stage of labor and vacuum assisted vaginal deliveries in terms of maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods: Between January 2017 and January 2018, the patients who delivered by cesarean section in the second stage of labor and vacuum assisted vaginal deliveries were retrospectively evaluated. Neonatal and maternal outcome parameters were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 113 patients, 53 patients in the vacuum delivery group and 60 patients in the cesarean section group, were included in the study. There was no difference between the groups in terms of maternal adverse outcomes. In terms of neonatal outcomes, umbilical cord pH was lower in the vacuum assisted delivery group (p=0.026). Conclusion: Since maternal and neonatal complications are similar, operative vaginal delivery may be considered as an alternative mode of delivery in the second stage of delivery in the appropriate patient group.
