Résumé (français)  :

Abstract (English)  :

BACKGROUND: To assess the influence of parity, mode of birth, place of birth, a history of birth by only cesarean section and birthweight on episiotomy rates. METHODS: Retrospective study of 3589 women giving birth vaginally from October 1997 to October 1998 in the Gutu district in Zimbabwe, to obtain the rate of episiotomy and its determinants.

RESULTS: The overall episiotomy rate was 27%; 54% in nulliparous and 6% in multiparous women. Perineal tears varied between 5 and 11% in the different places of birth.

DISCUSSION: An episiotomy rate of 54% in nulliparous women is higher than necessary. Medical and midwifery training should be adapted to facilitate a more restrictive use of episiotomy.
