ABSTRACT:
Episiotomy was previously recommended in 1920 to prevent severe perineal tears and lacerations, but later on it was adopted as a standard practice and now its routine use has been questioned. Various studies found that routine use of episiotomy can change the perineal flora and not all the labor need episiotomy.
