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
