Objective:  Determining the percentage of operative vaginal deliveries at the San Vicente de Paul teaching hospital over a five-year period and characterising operative deliveries in relation to the type of forceps, indications, and techniques used. Methods:  Descriptive retrospective study carried out at the hospital 2000–2004, including all deliveries during this period. Results:  9,255 deliveries were included; 2% (185) of them were operative vaginal deliveries. Kielland forceps were those most used, 63% being outlet and low forceps. Nineteen percent of patients suffered grade III and IV perineal tears. Conclusions:  A low incidence of operative vaginal deliveries was observed; this is decreasing. The incidence of tears was low in relation to other series. The teaching and practice of the art of using forceps should be encouraged.
