Which procedure is performed to facilitate a vaginal delivery?
It is called an "episiotomy". The doctor makes a straight snip in the side of the vaginal wall, thereby widening it, and making it easier for the baby's head to emerge. The mother's vagina wall is anesthetized first, of course. The cut the doctor makes is straight, easy to suture, and heals rapidly. Without the episiotomy, the baby's head would tear the vaginal wall, which is a crooked, ragged cut - hard to stitch, and slow to heal.
