title: [Uterine prolapse after episiotomy].
abstract: The value of episiotomy in regard to the prevention of descensus vagina et uteri is examined in a statistically reliable number of patients (64 cases). Women who were delivered without episiotomy provided the control group (70 cases). In both groups factors promoting pelvic relaxation were taken into consideration. According to the results of this examination the importance of episiotomy as prophylaxis of pelvic relaxation does not justify any obligatory use.
