Résumé (français) : | Les résultats scientifiques actuels montrent que l’épisiotomie de routine n’est pas justifiée : elle n’apporte pas de bénéfice à la mère ou à l’enfant, augmente le besoin de suture perinéale et les complications dans le processus de cicatrisation à 7 jours post-partum, crée une douleur et un inconfort inutiles, et a potentiellement des effets nuisibles à long terme. Nous rapportons les taux d’épisiotomie chez les femmes primipares dans des hôpitaux d’Amérique Latine en fonction des caractéristiques des hôpitaux et des soignants. |
Abstract (English) : | Current scientific evidence shows that routine episiotomy is not justified: it has no benefit for mother or infant, increases the need for perineal suturing and the risk of complications to the healing process at seven days post partum, produces unnecessary pain and discomfort, and has potentially harmful long term effects. We report rates of episiotomy in primiparous women in Latin American hospitals according to characteristics of hospitals and caregivers. |
