The utilization of instrumental vaginal delivery varies from one country to another, and even in the same country, from one obstetric unit to another. The alternative to attempting instrumental delivery, however, is to directly perform second stage caesarean delivery, which also carries a high burden of morbidity. In low resource countries like India, the rates of caesarean deliveries are still high but instrumental vaginal delivery should provide a good alternative for delivery.

The aim of the workshop was to inculcate skill and knowledge regarding instrumental vaginal delivery to all budding obstetrician as it is an essential skill for practicing obstetrician.

In this regard our department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology organised a hands-on training session on instrumental delivery on 28th February 2025 from 9A.M. to 4 P.M. at our simulation centre for OBG postgraduates, Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical college & Hospital, Pondicherry under the guidance of Dr. Poomalar G.K., Professor & HOD, Dr. Bupathy .A, Professor, Organizing Vice- chairperson, Dr. Nivedita .K, Professor.

The introductory session and lecture on types of forceps was conducted by Dr. Bupathy .A, followed by lecture on indication, pre-requisites, complication of instrumental delivery by Dr. Priyadharshini.

There were 5 hands on training stations arranged. They were

  1. Outlet forceps and Axis traction forceps by Dr. Nivedita & assisted by Dr. Hemavathy.
  2. Rotational forceps by Dr. Bupathy and assisted by Dr. Kavitha & Dr. Depika
  3. Vaccum delivery, KIWI Omnicup and instrumental delivery in caesarean section by       Ilamathi and assisted by Dr. Arularasan.
  4. IPV and Breech delivery by Dr. Poomalar assisted by Dr. Aparna. and Dr. Padmapriya.
  5. Shoulder dystocia by Dr. Priyadharshini assisted by Dr .Ketki.

And all the advantages, disadvantages, risks related to the procedures, Intraoperative and post operative complications. She has shared her valuable personel experience about the challenges related to MIS, which she had faced in her journey of life

MIS techniques encompass various procedures across multiple medical specialties, including laparoscopic surgery, robotic-assisted surgery, endoscopic procedures, and percutaneous interventions.

Minimally Invasive Surgery has become increasingly prevalent across various medical specialties due to its numerous advantages over traditional open surgery. However, like any surgical procedure, MIS is associated with potential complications that require careful consideration and management. Surgeons must possess adequate training, expertise, and familiarity with advanced technologies to minimize the risk of complications and ensure the safety and well-being of patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures.

INSTRUMENTAL DELIVERY: REVIVING THE FADING ART

Date: 03-FEB-2024
Time: 08.30 AM – 4.30 PM
Venue: SIMULATION CENTRE, SMVMCH 

INSTRUMENTAL DELIVERY WORKSHOP on 3 rd February 2024

The frequency of instrumental vaginal delivery varies from one country to another, and even in the same country, from one obstetric unit to another.

The alternative to attempting instrumental delivery, however, is to directly perform second stage caesarean delivery, which also carries a high burden of morbidity.

In low resource countries like India, the rates of caesarean deliveries are still high but IVD should provide a good alternative for delivery.

The aim of the workshop was to provide skill and knowledge regarding instrumental vaginal delivery as it is an essential skill for all the obstetricians.

In this regard our department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology organised a hands-on training session on instrumental delivery on 3rd February 2024 from 08:30 A.M. to 04:30 P.M. at our simulation centre, Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical college & Hospital, Pondicherry under the guidance of Dr. Jayasree .M, Professor & HOD, Dr. Bhubathy .A, Professor organizing Vice- chairperson, Dr. Nivedita .K, Professor and Dr. Poomalar G.K, Professor.
