English term or phrase: episiotomy
"decreased perineal trauma and fewer episiotomies"

Data from studies have shown that women in squatting or upright sitting positions have fewer operative vaginal deliveries, fewer and less severe perineal lacerations, and fewer episiotomies than women giving birth in a semirecumbent position;. The lithotomy position, particularly when exaggerated with the thighs flexed up against the chest, is still preferred by many care providers, but the literature suggests that this position not only increases the risk of perineal lacerations but also increases lumbosacral spine and lower extremity nerve injuries and should not be used for pushing in the second stage of labor
