I definately repair all 2nd degree laceratios. I would not even consider
not repairing one.
I used to not repair small periurethrals unless they were bleeding, but many
years ago I was called back to L&D after one did start bleeding, so now I
repair anything but a very superficial laceration. In addition, while most
small 1st degrees and periurethrals will heal and do fine without suturing, the
patient is much more uncomfortable if they are sutured.
