Interventions and materials
®
The interventions used surgical glue or suture thread to repair first- and second-degree perineal tears or episiotomy.N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Glubran-2®) is a synthetic surgical glue to be used on internal and external tissue, registered at the National Health Surveillance Agency (Proper glue application leads to solidification that starts in 1–2 s, finishing its reaction after nearly 60–90 s. In typical surgical procedures, the glue film is removed via hydrolytic degradation.The polyglactin 910 thread consists of polyglycolic, synthetic and absorbable acid, which is fully absorbed in approximately 35 days via hydrolysis. The thread used for this study was a Vicryl rapid® 2.0 fast absorption thread with a continuous suture technique for perineal repair.The polyglactin 910 thread consists of polyglycolic, synthetic and absorbable acid and is fully absorbed in approximately 35 days via hydrolysis.The procedure described by Caroci-Becker et al. (2021 [For the suture with the Vicryl rapid® thread, local anaesthesia was applied with lidocaine 2% without vasoconstrictor. The perineal repair procedure was performed with thread using the non-anchored continuous technique in all the tissue layers.
