Methods: This randomized study included 90 cases of caesarean sections with vacuum-assisted delivery using
the soft cup vacuum extractor (V group) and 90 cases of caesarean sections with manual extraction of the head
(M group). The hospital piped-vacuum supply was used to develop the required vacuum. Operative and postoperative
maternal and neonatal data of importance were analyzed using Student t-test for continuous variables
and Chi Square test for categorical variables.
