    Author: Robinson JC.
    Journal: Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol; 1994 Oct; 6(5):414-6. PubMed ID: 7827270.
    Abstract:
    The proper use of forceps or vacuum extractor, or both, remains a safe and effective modality in achieving the universal goal of a healthy mother and baby. Their use requires continued experience, sharing of information, and possibly attention to subtleties of design. This review looks at the current situation with special emphasis on side effects and selection issues as found in the recent literature.
