Résumé (français) : | L’épisiotomie a été introduite dans la pratique médicale sans preuve adéquate de son efficacité. On dispose aujourd’hui d’assez de données fiables pour convaincre les obstétriciens d’abandonner des pratiques basées sur des croyances plutôt que sur des faits, et de faire en sorte de recourir moins souvent à l’épisiotomie. Etant donnés les risques associés à cet acte, l’épisiotomie devrait être considérée comme une opération majeure. Les femmes doivent être informées en conséquence et doivent donner leur consentement éclairé avant toute épisiotomie, de la même manière qu’avant tout acte posé pendant leur accouchement. |
Abstract (English) : | Episiotomy was introduced into medical practice without adequate evidence of its effectiveness. At present, there are enough convincing data to persuade obstetric providers to abandon practices that are based on beliefs more than on facts, and to try to further restrict their use of episiotomy. Given the risks associated with the procedure, episiotomy should be considered a major operation. Women need to get appropriate information and to give their informed consent to an eventual episiotomy as well as to many other possible procedures during delivery. |
