Abstract (English)  :

(first lines only)
Sir — Marsden Wagner (June 5, p 1977) deserves to be heartily congratulated for daring to put episiotomy into the category of genital mutilation, and available evidence shows that he is right. At the birth of my children, some 20 years ago, it was difficult to have rational discussions on the subject: the only secure prevention was to be arrogantly demanding with obstetrician colleagues, and I have kept a vivid memory of their mockery, their warning on the risks I was exposing my wife to in order ..
