    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Surgical Repair

    Background:

    • Perineal lacerations are common birth injuries, often involving the rectal sphincter and mucosa.
    • Surgical repair is typically delayed until after childbearing years, causing prolonged patient disability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of puerperal perineal repair.
    • To highlight the benefits of immediate postpartum surgical intervention for perineal lacerations.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical technique for perineal repair during the immediate postpartum period.
    • Review of outcomes, including morbidity and recurrence rates.

    Main Results:

    • Puerperal perineal repair demonstrated no increased incidence of morbidity or recurrence.
