Abstract
Delivery through the maternal genital tract can be assisted or performed using specific instruments. In France, these techniques are used in 15% of deliveries. The three instruments used are the forceps, the vacuum extractor and the spatula. Manual manoeuvres are essentially used in breech presentation. These are mainly partial and total breech extractions with their many variations. The version consisting of external manoeuvering precedes delivery. In cephalic presentations, the only possible manual manoeuvre is manual rotation of the foetal head.
