Surgical repair of perineal lesions after delivery is frequently associated with pain and discomfort interfering with the normal activities of the puerperium. The aim of this study was to compare perineal skin repair after episiotomy with adhesive glue versus a subcuticular suture, regarding the incidence of pain and wound complications.
