Background: Episiotomy is the most common obstetric surgical procedure performed in labor room. Mediolateral and Midline episiotomies are types. Post-delivery suture angle important determinant factor which predicts risk of anal sphincter injuries. episiotomy has a significantly lower OASIS rate when compared to midline episiotomies. Aim study was know whether mediolateral actually does influen...

Materials Methods: This was organized as a semi-randomized controlled type research. A total 96 term pregnant women who gave birth in delivery service Nazilli State Hospital underwent at birth, had Visual Analog Skala (VAS) value greater than 3 agreed to participate were includ...

Postpartum pain experienced by every woman has varying degrees of with different thresholds. Post partum is caused a tear in the birth canal / perineum due to an episiotomy aim preventing spontaneous perineal tearing and facilitating delivery.

OBJECTIVE To identify risk factors associated with anal sphincter tear during vaginal delivery and to identify opportunities for preventing this cause of fecal incontinence in young women. METHODS We used baseline data from two groups of women who participated in the Childbirth and Pelvic Symptoms (CAPS) study: those women who delivered vaginally, either those with or those without a recogniz...

NURSING STANDARD PERINEAL WOUNDS commonly occur in women during labour (Albers et al 2005). A cross-sectional survey of 101 randomly selected NHS trusts in the UK in the mid-1990s revealed that 83% of low risk primigravidae experienced some form of perineal trauma (Williams et al 1998). Many women also experience labial tears, grazes or vulval varicosities which are painful (Steen 2007). Perine...

BACKGROUND Obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) occurs in about 7% of adults; it seems that the etiology of pelvic floor disorders is multifactorial. Pregnancy and childbirth damage to the pelvic nerve and muscles are proposed causes for this condition. The precise role of vaginal delivery (VD) is not clearly defined, although in recent studies association of pelvic floor disorder with Operativ...

Background: Perineal traumas particularly caused by following vaginal delivery are associated with short and long term morbidity for women. Therefore, interventions that increase the probability of intact perineum are necessary. The aim of study was to determine the effect of perineal massage with a sterile lubricant on the incidence of episiotomy and perinea laceration. Materials: This clinica...
