Abstract
Comparing 2003 to 2010, the majority of cases with no episiotomy (over 2/3) resulted in first degree perineum lesions which are today recognized as benign lesions without any systematic need for suturing. A restrictive use of episiotomy increases the rate of intact perineum and of “non-severe” perineal lesions.
