doubt that it is an important region for absorbing part of the intrapelvic (intra-abdominal) pressure. A stretched or even destroyed perineal body may be the cause for urogenital or rectal prolapse (Zbar et al. 2003).
From a morphological as well as a functional point of view there is need for discussion as to how and whether a surgical approach through an intact perineal body should be performed.
The discussion of pelvic floor damage during vaginal delivery and/or after episiotomies has been kindled through the remarkable statistics of Sultan et al. (Sultan et al. 1993), who showed that episiotomies do not prevent tearing. We think that the indication for episiotomies should clearly be defined by an international committee and it should be restricted to special cases. Perineal damage may occur not only spontaneously but also iatrogenically through the execution of an episiotomy. It is not at all “old-fashioned” to protect the perineum during vaginal delivery by hands-on methods.
We recommend not carrying out median and lateral episiotomies and being careful with mediolateral ones: As can be seen from a pathological specimen in Fig. 16, a perineal tear and/or a lateral episiotomy has led to a scar of the perineal body and the external anal sphincter. The connective tissue septa of the ischioanal fossa are irregular (Fig. 16a). At the border between the infralevatoric and levatoric level, it becomes visible that the vaginal wall is slightly displaced, the puborectalis is rather thin, and the ischioanal fossa is not symmetric with the contralateral side (Fig. 16b), a diagnosis that still remains on supralevatoric levels (Fig. 16c). Refined and functional surgical treatment of perineal tears seems to be necessary to avoid such situations. As modern imaging techniques allow a fast and reliable examination, it is the gynecologists’ task to improve the surgical treatment.
