title: [Delivery by forceps: indications and materno-fetal morbidity].
abstract: A retrospective study concerning patients having had a delivery by means pair of forceps over a period going from 1st Jun 1999 to 31st December 2000. The frequency of the use of forceps for delivery is 4.95%. The defect of eviction was an indication of the pair of forceps. Fetal suffering was the main indication. Maternal morbidity was represented essentially by a more or less injury of the genital tract with a rate of 11.1%. The rate of neonatal mortality is 1.28%. The maternal improvement of the maternal and fetal prognosis depends on an accurate indication of the use of forceps. In certain circumstances, mainly in fetal suffering, it is often difficult to choose between the high way and the low way.
