Résumé (français) :	L’épisiotomie de routine ou prophylactique (à l’opposé de l’épisiotomie pour une raison spécifique, comme la détresse foetale) est un exemple caractérisé de procédure obstétricale qui subsiste malgré l’absence totale de justification scientifique et l’existence de nombreux articles condamnant cette pratique.
Abstract (English) :	Routine or prophylactic episiotomy (as opposed to episiotomy for specific indication such as fetal distress) is the quintessential example of an obstetrical procedure that persists despite a total lack of evidence for it and a considerable body of evidence against it.
