Perineal tears and episiotomy: how do wounds heal?

Abstract: The care of perineal wounds is an important aspect of postnatal care. The aim of this article is to focus specifically on the healing aspect of perineal wounds. A description of tissue trauma, different types of wounds and classification of perineal wounds are given. This is then followed by a very detailed account of how wounds heal. Factors that can prevent healing are also highlighted as is the need to provide adequate pain relief that will have no adverse effect on healing.
