Post-operative pain is the most prevalent issue following an episiotomy, greatly affecting patients both physically and mentally, resulting in increased morbidity. This study seeks to compare the effectiveness of continuous and interrupted suturing techniques for episiotomy post-operative pain among the local population.
There is a lack of recent local data regarding the management of post-operative pain using different suturing techniques. The findings of this study would help in adopting a more effective technique, resulting in reducing the postoperative pain and lowering morbidity. Practical recommendations can be made to enhance routine practices and establish guidelines for these patients.
