Hi Trish & the list this is a list of references on the topic
Lundquist, M. Olsson, A. Nissen, E. and Norman, M. 2000. " Is it necessary
to suture all lacerations after a vaginal delivery", Birth. 27(2): 79-85.
Head, M.1993 "Dropping stitches", Nursing Times. 89(33):64-65.
Clement, S. Reed, B. 1999. "To stitch or not to stitch? A long term followup
of women with unsutured perineums", The Practising Midwife. 2(4):20-28.
I believe there is a Scottish Trial in progress as well, look out for MIDIRS
they are great at incorporating research.
Cheers Jan Prider

hi
I am looking for references and opinions regarding "to suture or not
to suture" I remember hearing about a UK paper that compared suturing 2
degree tears with not suturing.thanks for any input.
