    Midforceps rotation operations have high rates of unfavorable fetal (30.8%) and maternal (13.5%) outcomes. Risk factors significantly increase these adverse events, suggesting caution in high-risk pregnancies.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Perinatal Medicine
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Midforceps rotation operations are a debated obstetric procedure.
    • Assessing perinatal and maternal morbidity is crucial for evaluating surgical interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of midforceps rotation operations using standardized morbidity indices.
    • To identify risk factors associated with suboptimal fetal and maternal outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 458 consecutive midforceps rotation operations.
    • Utilized a specially designed Perinatal Morbidity Index (PMI) and Maternal Morbidity Index (MMI).
    • Identified and quantified risk factors impacting outcomes.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Unfavorable fetal outcome occurred in 30.8% and unfavorable maternal outcome in 13.5% of cases.
    • Twelve risk factors were associated with suboptimal results.
    • Fetal outcomes worsened significantly with increased risk factors (11% with none vs. 47% with >=3).

    Conclusions:

    • Midforceps rotation operations carry substantial risks for both fetus and mother.
    • Patients with significant risk factors should not undergo this procedure.
    • Risk stratification is essential for patient selection in operative vaginal delivery.
