Abstract
Assisted delivery allows birth for some second stage foetal distress or when maternal pushing is insufficient. Vacuum extractor is one of the different techniques used for instrumental delivery. This technique is still rarely used in France despite almost easy handling, and its use results in fewer perineal tears than forceps. Correct utilization and efficiency are based on labour mechanisms, and strict respect of its indications decreases foetal risks.
