    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study introduces a simple forceps technique for fetal head rotation when natural rotation fails. It utilizes Laufe forceps for enhanced fetal head flexion and rotation, simplifying the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Spontaneous fetal head rotation is crucial for vaginal delivery.
    • Failure of spontaneous rotation can necessitate operative interventions.
    • Existing forceps rotation methods may be complex or traumatic.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel, atraumatic forceps rotation technique.
    • To provide an alternative for cases of failed spontaneous vertex rotation.
    • To simplify the application of forceps for fetal head rotation.

    Main Methods:

    • A technique using Laufe forceps is detailed.
    • Forceps are applied similarly to a Scanzoni maneuver for maximum fetal head flexion.
    • The forceps blade serves as a finger-grip attachment for rotation, avoiding handle manipulation.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique is relatively atraumatic and simple.
    • It offers a method for rotation when spontaneous rotation has not occurred.
    • The procedure does not require twisting of the forceps handle.

    Conclusions:

    • This modified forceps application provides an effective method for vertex rotation.
    • The technique aims to reduce potential trauma during operative vaginal delivery.
    • It presents a straightforward approach for obstetricians facing difficult fetal head presentations.
