Summary:Surgical instrument and method for the removal of tension in a continuous portion of tissue. Episiotomy is indicated as an example, but other applications requiring the separation of a portion of tissue also fall within the scope the invention. In order to prevent the further tear of tissue under tension when making an initial incision, it is proposed that said initial incision is made not at theedge of the tissue portion but at a point further along said tissue portion, preferably at the end point of the intended separation. From that point, the separation is made towards the edge of the tissue portion. The initial separation can be performed by way of incision, perforation and the like. To this end, a surgical instrument is proposed that, for example, can be provided with a cutting blade that is inclined at an angle in such a manner that when said blade is moved towards the opposing support member between which the tissue is held, the tissue is cut from the free end of the blade.
