Episiotomy Wound
Conditions
Brief summary
Retrospective, monocentric clinical study on the clinical performance of Novosyn® Quick in patients undergoing episiotomy closure.
Detailed description
The study design is a retrospective, consecutive series of women with a spontaneous vaginal delivery who required an indicated episiotomy with Novosyn® Quick between the period January 2020 - December 2020 at Hospital General de Catalunya. All women treated with Novosyn® Quick between January 2020 - December 2020 at the Hospital General de Catalunya will be analyzed.
