摘要：
A surgical device, and related method to aid in delivery by vaginal or cesarean section delivery to dislodge the fetal head when it has become wedged in the birth canal is provided. The device has a body and a handle for an operator to hold and brace against the mother, and a head plate with an inflatable bladder for gently applying force to the fetal head. The head plate is inserted into the birth canal and the bladder is filled with air or biocompatible fluid. The combination of insertion and inflation gently elevates the fetal head out of the birth canal into the pelvis to facilitate repositioning or extraction of the fetus. The device may have an adjustable neck to accommodate different anatomies and scenarios. The device may have sensors to monitor the health of both the neonate and the mother and to aid in the operation of the device.
