Introduction: Episiotomy has some complications such as inflammation, edema, dehiscence and perineal pain. The object of this study was comparison of the early complications of episiotomy repair with rapid vicryl and chromic catgut in the nulliparous women.
Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 100 nulliparous women during labor were randomly selected and divided equally into two groups (50 in each group). Repair of episiotomy in the first group with rapid vicryl and in the second group with chromic catgut was done. The tools were questionnaires on demographic and midwifery characteristics, Reeda scale and visual analog scale. The participants were evaluated in 4 visits: 24 hours, 3-5 days, 2 weeks and 6 weeks after delivery, respectively. In each visit, the severity of pain, redness, edema, ecchymosis, discharge and proximity to the edges of the episiotomy wound and pain intensity score were assessed. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (v. 16).
Results: Mean pain intensity scores in two groups showed no significant differences. But for Episiotomy wound healing at intervals of 24 hours, 3-5 days and two weeks after delivery, but the total score of Reeda scale in rapid vicryl group was lower than chromic catgut group and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Based on these findings, it seems that the use of synthetic sutures such as rapid vicryl is more effective than conventional natural sutures in episiotomy repair
