Description
Omima Taha and five co-authors survey Egyptian doctors who deliver babies, in a study dated 2026. Their topic is instrumental delivery, the use of forceps or a vacuum cup to help a baby out. The method can cut the need for cesarean surgery, but its use has been fading.
The online survey ran in early 2025 and drew 139 replies. More than half of the doctors had never tried the method, and most would not urge it even when it fit the case. The top reasons were fear of legal claims, lost training chances, and weak senior support during hard cases. The authors say rebuilding skills and supervision could revive a method that helps mothers avoid surgery.
