Brief Summary  

Episiotomy is a surgical incision of the perineum (the area between the vaginal opening and back passage) to enlarge the vaginal opening during labor or delivery.  This procedure is done with scissors or scalpel and requires repair by suturing. Polyglycolic acid fast-absorbing sutures are commonly used for episiotomy repair as it is associated with less perineal pain, analgesic use, infection and re-suturing. In this study, we plan to assess differences in maternal morbidity between two commonly used brands of polyglycolic acid fast-absorbing sutures, Truglyde Fast® and Safil Quick®.
