    "abstract": "Episiotomy, the deliberate surgical incision on the vaginal orifice during vaginal delivery, requires prompt repairing of the incised tissue. It may be associated with bleeding, infection, dehiscence, dyspareunia, short-term pain, and prolonged hospital stay. The outcome of surgery depends on the suture material and technique to repair the episiotomy.\nWe aim to subjectively assess perineal pain and maternal morbidity following episiotomy repair with Truglyde Fast\nThis multicentric, prospective, randomized (1:1), two-arm, parallel-group, single-blind study was started in August 2020 and completed in March 2021. Ninety-nine primiparous or multiparous eligible women requiring episiotomy were recruited to Truglyde Fast\nAt all visits, a non-significant change in perineal pain was noted between Truglyde Fast\nTruglyde Fast",
