Article Synopsis
- Episiotomy is a surgical procedure that enlarges the vaginal opening for childbirth, and this study explores its risk factors and indications during spontaneous labor.
- A study of 349 vaginal births found that instrumental delivery and fetal birth weight over 3,000 grams significantly increased the likelihood of needing an episiotomy, while prolonged second-stage labor also posed a risk.
- The findings suggest a higher than recommended episiotomy rate, indicating the need for interventions to reduce its prevalence and improve childbirth practices.
