Labor and Delivery: Episiotomy

This 3D medical animation depicts two types of episiotomy during labor and delivery, a surgical procedure during vaginal birth in which an incision is made in the perineum to widen the vaginal opening, in order to allow a baby to pass through and be born. A midline incision extends straight down from the vagina toward the anus. A mediolateral incision is made on an angle from the vagina in the direction of the anus.

    @ashmarie88 Yeah, and then you´ll sue us if you have any complication like complete tearing to the anus (which needs tons of surgeries to be repaired). This is a reason why I hate people and love informed consentment.

    @ashmarie88 When you let it tear by itself, there is a bigger chance that it wil tear all the way to the anus, and you don’t want that. I would trust my doctor if he thinks the best option is an episiotomy.

    My friend refused to get that done and she healed in just about a week. She barely naturally tore which was great for her. She was happy she didn’t get the episiotomy. Ugh, someday when I have kids, I’m never getting that done! I’ll naturally tear tyvm.

    @sarkerm2 yeah, surgeons do that so the expulsion of the babay will be easy! But it doesnt hurt at all because they are injecting local anesthesia. and they do episiorrhapy after.
