    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Pelvic Floor Disorders

    Context:

    • Pelvic organ prolapse, including descensus vagina et uteri, is a common complication following childbirth.
    • Episiotomy is a surgical procedure sometimes performed during delivery.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of episiotomy in preventing pelvic organ prolapse (vaginal and uterine descensus).

    Summary:

    • A study compared 64 women who underwent episiotomy with 70 women who did not, considering factors contributing to pelvic relaxation.
    • Results indicated that episiotomy is not a justifiable routine procedure for preventing pelvic relaxation or descensus vagina et uteri.

    Impact:

    • Findings suggest that the routine use of episiotomy may not be beneficial for preventing pelvic organ prolapse.
