Abstract

En 中文
Second-degree perineal tears and episiotomies, involving the bulbocavernosus and/or superficial transverse perineal muscles, are common after vaginal birth and may lead to wound dehiscence, infection, and long-term pelvic floor dysfunction. Despite this, risk factors for deep wound dehiscence involving perineal musculature remain insufficiently studied. This study aimed to identify risk factors for wound dehiscence in second-degree tears and episiotomies to inform potential use of antibiotic prophylaxis.
