To investigate the efficacy of placing bupivacaine-soaked Spongostan (Ferrosan, Soeborg, Copenhagen, Denmark) in episiotomy beds for relief of postpartum pain. ⋯ Placement of bupivacaine-soaked spongostan into the episiotomy bed resulted in decreased postpartum pain and drug requirement. It may be attributed to a higher drug concentration at episiotomy bed and prolonged drug effect.
