Why physician performs an episiotomy


Question: A 42-year-old mother with a previous CS delivers vaginally at 39 weeks.  Because of the large size of the baby (more than 4000g), the physician uses low forceps to deliver.  The physician performs an episiotomy, but because of the baby's size, a 4 degree laceration occurs.  The tears and the episiotomy are repaired.
