Abstract (English)  :

As medical knowledge advances, it is conceivable that episiotomy may one day join such extinct operations as blood letting, high forceps delivery, symphysiotomy, and decapitation, which are now considered crude and barbaric, but were once widely practiced, in the books of medical antiquity. As a recent reviewer aptly put it(3), "episiotomy has " been weighed in the scales and been found wanting""(4).
