Episiotomy is associated with a reduced risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury in nulliparous vacuum‐assisted deliveries, particularly in high‐risk cases

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Mediolateral episiotomy during vacuum‐assisted delivery in nulliparous women was associated with lower obstetric anal sphincter injury (1.4% vs 2.8%; adjusted odds ratio 0.42, 95% CI 0.25–0.70). The protective effect was greater when intrapartum risk factors were present, including prolonged second stage, occiput posterior position, and birthweight ...
