Episiotomy procedure enlarges the vaginal outlet to facilitate childbirth. Polyglactin 910 fast-absorbing sutures are widely used for the repair of episiotomy because of their rapid absorption and less inflammatory response. This study was designed for subjective assessment of perineal pain post-episiotomy repair, with Trusynth Fast and Vicryl Rapide polyglactin 910 fast-absorbing sutures.

Background: Perineal trauma, due to spontaneous tears, surgical incision (episiotomy), or in association with operative vaginal birth, is common after vaginal birth, and is often associated with postpartum perineal pain. Birth over an intact perineum may also lead to perineal pain. There are adverse health consequences associated with perineal pain for the women and their babies in the short- and long-term, and the pain may interfere with newborn care and the establishment of breastfeeding.

Introduction And Hypothesis: A variety of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have been investigated, with the goal of relieving pain after post-episiotomy repair.

Methods: We conducted a randomized double-blinded trial in Cairo University hospital, Cairo, Egypt, from October 2018 to December 2019.
