Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Episiotomy is a surgical procedure performed to enlarge the vaginal opening during childbirth, which helps to facilitate a vaginal delivery. It is done to prevent tearing of the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) and to reduce the risk of pelvic floor muscle injury. Cesarean section is a surgical delivery, not a procedure to facilitate vaginal delivery. Conization is a procedure to remove a cone-shaped piece of tissue from the cervix for medical reasons. Episiorrhaphy is a surgical repair of a perineal tear or laceration that may occur during childbirth.
