Obstetric anal sphincter injury events prior and after Episcissors-60 implementation: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: The present analysis highlights significant differences of OASIS events pre- and post- Epi-60, that may suggest Episcissors-60 implementation as standard practice. Nonetheless, to ensure data integrity, well reported observational studies and robust randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are required prior to introduction of Epi-60 as standard episiotomy technique in clinical practice.PMID:34508991 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2021.08.030
