Episiotomy practice in France and prevention of high-grade perineal tears at the time of operative vaginal delivery: a prospective multicentre ancillary cohort study

ConclusionsThis study did not demonstrate a significant reduction in risk for OASI at the time of OVD when the episiotomy suture angle was  >45 ° from the median line. However, these results should be interpreted with caution owing to the low prevalence of OASIs in our cohort.
