What is Episiotomy : Challenging Obstetric Interventions about?

There is little clinical evidence to suggest that episiotomies should be performed routinely, yet each year, more than 1.5 million of these operations are performed in the U.S. This book focuses on the process of change in the use of this controversial procedure by tracing the evolution of the common use of the episiotomy. It also examines the importance of the recent efforts by midwives, childbirth educators, and women's groups to reduce its use worldwide and offers practical suggestions for changing obstetrical interventions.
