Résumé (français)  :

Abstract (English)  :

1. Many benefits claimed for episiotomy are not sufficiently proven. In recent literature, some of them are questioned and some have been disproven.

2. Episiotomy, especially median episiotomy, has a higher risk of third-degree lacerations. Mediolateral episiotomy is more often followed by postpartum pain and impaired wound-healing.

3. Typical, albeit rare complications of episiotomy and third-degree lacerations are incontinence for stool and flatus, and-very seldom-fistula formation.

4. Complications of episiotomy as well as the failure to perform an episiotomy have had forensic consequences.

5. For good healing of an episiotomy or a perineal laceration suturing with an adequate technique and the use of non-reactive suture material is mandatory.
