[Episiotomy repair by the method of W. B. Shute]

For about 1 year 106 episiotomy are reapproximated using figure-of-eight sutures by W. B. Shute and 623 by using conventional techniques. Early (4-6 days) and lately (6 months and more) results are compared in these 2 groups. Authors have found out benefits of Shute's technique and recommend to use it as a routine procedure in current obstetric practice.
