episiotomy is done to facilitate 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.
Scissoring, or episiotomy, is performed during delivery to enlarge the vaginal opening and facilitate the birth process, particularly if the baby is in distress or if there are concerns about tearing. It allows for a controlled incision that can prevent more extensive tearing of the perineum. This procedure is less commonly used today, as many practitioners prefer to allow natural tearing to occur, which often heals better. The decision to scissor is made based on the specific circumstances of the delivery.

Anesthesia for vaginal delivery only
Episiotomy may be done during childbirth to widen the vaginal opening to facilitate delivery of the baby. It is usually performed if there is a risk of tearing or if the baby needs to be delivered quickly to prevent complications. However, episiotomies are now less common and are typically only performed when medically necessary.
Anesthesia for vaginal delivery only
An episiotomy is typically performed by a healthcare provider, such as an obstetrician or midwife, during childbirth. It involves making an incision in the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus) to widen the vaginal opening and facilitate delivery of the baby.
A baby delivered through an incision in the maternal abdominal and uterine wall is known as a cesarean section or C-section delivery. This surgical procedure is typically performed when a vaginal delivery poses risks to the mother or baby, such as in cases of fetal distress, abnormal positioning, or previous uterine surgeries. C-sections can be planned in advance or performed as an emergency procedure during labor.
spontaneous vertex delivery is a more specific term, meaning it defines the unaided vaginal delivery where the vertex is the presenting part. spontaneous vaginal delivery stands for all unaided vaginal deliveries, whether vertex or breech.
