    • Abstract:
      The aim of the study is to establish the possibility for reconstructing episiotomies with a continuous uninterrupted suture. In a prospective study are included 54 women with a lateral episiotomy without further lacerations. As sewing material were used Cat-gut or Vicryl Rapide. Reconstruction of vagina, perineum and skin is done by a continuous suture with a single thread. The technical accomplishment does not provide problems to the surgeon. What is more, it reduces the durability of the intervention by achieving a good haemostasis and anatomic adaptation. All episiotomies heal per priman. An important advantage for women from a psychoemotinal point of view is the lack of the necessity to remove threads.
