ABSTRACT
This report details the frequency of perineal tears in primiparous patients with and without episiotomy, curing a vaginal delivery. Episiotomy is the surgical incision on the perineum to enlarge the vaginal opening for obstetrical purposes during the birth process for widening the oulet of the birth canal to facilitate delivery. From the present study it becomes evident that the women submitted to restrictive episiotomy showed less anterior and posterior perineal tears comparing with those without the previous episiotomy. It is considered that the implementation of a restrictive episiotomy is a valid tool that should be used by qualified personal with experience in the technique and the repairment
