Abstract
The efficiency of Thierry's spatulas is proven. As with forceps and vacuum extractors, extraction with Thierry's spatulas is a risk factor for perineal laceration compared to a spontaneous delivery. In deliveries with spatulas, OP head positions further increase this perineal risk against OA positions. OP positions before fetal extractions do not seem to be an ideal situation for using spatulas, even if an anterior rotation is achieved in one-third of cases.
