The Stand Taken by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists

The stand taken by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (2004) regarding episiotomies is:

A) the use of episiotomies is not recommended even in assisted vaginal births.
B) that they should be performed more often than not to reduce damage to the pelvic floor.
C) to perform them on every first-time mother but only as a last resort for subsequent births.
D) that they are necessary to avoid unnecessary and hard to repair tears and so should be mandatory.
