Episiotomy: • Episiotomy is a surgically planned incision on the perineum and the posterior vaginal wall during the second stage of labor. • It is also known as Perineotomy.
Episiotomy • A surgical incision into the perineum between the vagina and anus. • Prior to instrumental delivery (forceps, vacuum) to widen the vagina
Objective of Episotomy: • To enlarge the vaginal introitus so as to facilitate easy and safe delivery of fetus. • To minimize overstretching and rupture of the perineal muscle and fascia. • To reduce the stress and strain on the fetal head(more for premature baby).
Indications: • In rigid/inelastic perineum- primigravida, old perineal scar of episiotomy 2. Anticipated perineal tear- Primi, big baby, face to pubis or face delivery, narrow pubic arch, breech delivery 3. Operative procedure- forcep or vaccum delivery
4.To shorten the second stage- Heart diseases, severe pre-eclampsia or pre-eclampsia, post C/S cases, postmaturity 5. Foetal Interest- foetal distress, premature baby, breech delivery
Timing of episiotomy: Bulging thinned perineum during contraction just prior to crowning is the ideal time
Advantages: A. Maternal – 1.Easy to repair 2.Prevent prolapse 3.Prevent lacerations extending to rectum. 4.Shortening of 2nd stage of labour B. Foetal- 1.Minimise intracranial injuries in premature baby 2. Reduces foetal asphyxia and acidosis
Types: • Mediolateral • Median • Lateral • J- shaped
Following structures are cut from inside – outwards. • a) The posterior vaginal wall • b) The deep and the superficial transverse perineal muscle,the bulbospongiosus and part of the levator ani muscle. • c) The fascia covering the muscle • d) Transverse perineal branches of the pudendal vessels and nerves. • e) The subcutaneous tissue and the skin.
Procedure: • Cleaning and draping • Anesthesia • Incision - Site and timing - Technique • Repair: - Timing and Methods
