Episiotomy, the most frequently performed operative procedure enlarges the vaginal outlet in order to facilitate childbirth. It is performed by applying an incision on the perineum. In India, episiotomy is performed in approximately 63% of women during vaginal delivery.
After performing episiotomy, the incised tissue has to be approximated, which is significantly impacted by the suture material used for tissue approximation, as it may affect perineal pain, discomfort and episiotomy healing.
