Title: Re: suturing
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.

Dear Trish

The following are all MIDIRS articles and may be useful to you.

Is it necessary to suture all lacerations after a vaginal delivery? (Sept2000 10:3 page 346)

The Ipswich Childbirth Study: 1. A randomised evaluation of two stage postpartum perineal repair leaving the skin unsutured (Sept 1998 8:3 page 338)

Tea time - Using herbs to help heal the unsutured perineum (Dec 1994 4:4 page 455)

Happy reading

Jan
