Mediolateral episiotomy

Is anyone in the group doing mediolateral episiotomies? I only had one attending in residency that did them routinely, so I don't have much experience with them.

Does anyone have any information on complications vs midline? Everything I've pulled up from medline leads toward them having LESS complications, but if that were the case, why aren't we all doing them instead of midline?

Thanks,

Glen

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
