Episiotomy characteristics and risks for obstetric anal sphincter injuries: a case-control study.

Abstract

The present study showed that scarred episiotomies with depth > 16 mm, length > 17 mm, incision point > 9 mm lateral of midpoint and angle range 30-60° are significantly associated with less risk of OASIS. Shrinkage of tissue must be considered.
