The incision should only be started during a contraction when the presenting part is stretching the perineum.
Doing the episiotomy too early may cause severe bleeding and will not immediately assist the delivery. The
incision is started in the midline and most posterior in the vaginal opening (intriotus) with the scissors pointed at
45° away from the anus. It is usually directed to the patient’s left but can also be to the right. 2 fingers of the left
hand are slipped between the perineum and the presenting part when performing a mediolateral episiotomy.
