ROUTINE USE OF EPISIOTOMY IN MODERN OBSTETRICS: Should It Be Performed?
TL;DR: Episiotomy does not decrease damage to the perineum but rather increases it as mentioned in this paper, and the midline episiotomy increases the risk for third-degree and fourth-degree lacerations.

John M. Thorp,Watson A. Bowes +1 more

Obstetric history in women with surgically corrected adult urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.
TL;DR: Comparisons within the patient group, categorized by indication for surgery, revealed that women who had surgery for either prolapse alone or for both prolapse and incontinence were most likely to have had vaginal deliveries, and cesarean delivery is associated with less need for surgical correction ofincontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.
