    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-08-10) Chuquimantari Zevallos, Ruth; Alfaro Fernández, Paul Rubén
    The objective of this study was to determine the perineal complications associated with the use of episiotomy. The design was a systematic review of a qualitative nature, involving searches of information in various virtual libraries such as Lilacs, Elsevier, Scielo, Cochrane, and ScienceDirect. A total of 35 articles that met the inclusion criteria within the study period from 2015 to 2020 were considered. The Grade system was used to evaluate each article. Among the reviewed studies, 38% utilized a review methodology. Regarding perineal complications associated with routine episiotomy use, 26% of the reviewed studies reported that the primary complication was perineal tear. In relation to perineal complications associated with selective episiotomy use, 37% of the reviewed studies identified perineal tear as the primary complication. This study concludes that the reviewed scientific evidence demonstrates a significant relationship between perineal complications and both routine and selective episiotomy use.
