Background
Approximately 70% of women will experience perinealtrauma following vaginal delivery and will requirestitches.
This may result in pain, suture removal and superficialdyspareunia.

8nly one trial contriuted data to this outcome .
There was no evidence of any differences in mean pain scores for womenrepaired with synthetic monofilament sutures or polyglycolic acid suturesat one to three days after delivery.
There was no strong evidence of any difference etween group for pain at
