title: [Effect of lumbar peridural analgesia on the evolution of the number of delivery-associated operations].
abstract: The authors analyse the obstetric material of ten years of their institute in terms of the rate of delivery-completing operations. Lumbar peridural analgesia was introduced in the fourth year of the period under scrutiny. In the course of ten years we delivered 16,582 patients. 2,797 parturients of them were given peridural analgesia. In spite of the widespread use of this method of pain control during labor, the rate of vaginal operative deliveries in percentage terms did not change. The result corroborates the authors' assumption that an increase in the number of obstetric vaginal operations is not a necessary concomitant of lumbar peridural analgesia.
