Summary

Objective: Analysis of caesarean section, vaginal instrumental deliveries and severe perineal morbidity in the Slovak Republic in the years 2007–2018. Methods: The analysis of prospectively collected caesarean section and vaginal instrumental delivery data in the years 2007–2018, and episiotomies and severe perineal morbidity data in the years 2008–2018 from obstetrics hospitals in the Slovak Republic. Results: Caesarean section rate progressively increased from 24.1% in 2007 up to 30.8% in 2013 and decreased to 29.6% in 2018. Vacuum-extraction frequency was 1.3% in 2007 and increased up to 2.0% till 2018. Forceps frequency decreased since 2008–2018 from 0.56% to 0.43%. In the years 2008–2018, frequency of perineal tears of the 3^rd and 4^th degree increased from 0.4% to 0.8%. Frequency of episiotomies decreased in the years 2008–2018 from 74.7% to 47.7%. Conclusion: The highest caesarean section rate in the Slovak Republic – 30.8% occurred in 2013, but slowly decreased in the following years. The frequency of vacuum extraction increased and forceps decreased. Frequency of episiotomies had decreased and severe perineal tears held an increasing trend.
