Of episiotomies, implementation science, and repeating trials.

Guidelines from the UK, France, USA, and Canada all concur to recommend that the use of episiotomy should be restricted to selected cases.

      ab: Guidelines from the UK, France, USA, and Canada all concur to recommend that the use of episiotomy should be restricted to selected cases. This new publication opens two lines of debate: (i) is there an ideal rate of episiotomy and should it be adapted to the patient, in particular Asian women; and (ii) is it legitimate to perform a repeat trial when there is already robust evidence from previous trials. These two questions and more regarding episiotomy warrant new trials: restrictive versus very restrictive episiotomy and individualised versus universal policy for episiotomy.
