3-Dimension Ultrasound Findings in Women Who Have Undergone Vacuum Versus Forceps-Assisted Vaginal Deliveries
The purpose of this study is to investigate of the differences in pelvic floor anatomy and
function in women who have undergone a vacuum assisted vaginal delivery (VAVD) versus a
forceps assisted vaginal delivery (FAVD) using three-dimensional ultrasound imaging. Women
within 1-5 years after first delivery who did not have an internal delivery will be
included. The total number of subjects is forty. This will include ten primiparous subjects
who have undergone vacuum delivery, ten who have undergone forceps delivery, ten who had
spontaneous vaginal delivery and ten who have undergone primary elective cesarean section.
