Perineal trauma is a common event in labour, affecting up to 90 % of primigravidas and it is sometimes associated with considerable post-natal morbidity. Statistics show that one in ten women after vaginal delivery will have pelvic floor dysfunction, so severe that surgery may be required. All authors actually agree that the obstetric pelvic floor trauma is a heavy reality.
