What is Understanding Episiotomy Procedures about?
Episiotomy is a surgical incision made in the perineum and posterior vaginal wall during childbirth to enlarge the opening for the baby to pass through. It is usually done during the second stage of labor under local anesthesia and repaired with stitches after delivery. While traditionally used to prevent severe tearing, research now shows restrictive episiotomy policies have benefits like less trauma and complications with no difference in outcomes. The optimal technique remains unclear.
