The role of fetal viability in perineal and anal sphincter injury: Insights from a large cohort study. [PDF]

Int J Gynaecol Obstet
Abstract Background Perineal injury is a common complication of vaginal delivery with implications for maternal morbidity. Injuries range from minor lacerations to severe obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI). The role of fetal viability in perineal outcomes remains unclear.

Age‐related long‐term effects of vaginal delivery, pregnancy, and sphincter injury on anal continence: A matched cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Long‐term fecal incontinence was more common and severe after two vaginal deliveries and twice as high following obstetric anal sphincter injury. An age‐related increase in fecal incontinence appeared after two vaginal deliveries but was not observed after cesarean delivery or in nulliparas.

Anal Sphincter Injury

Annals of Surgery, 1984
The surgical management of a consecutive series of 97 patients with complete division of the anal sphincter musculature is reported. The sphincter damage followed operative, traumatic, or obstetric injury and resulted in frank fecal incontinence or the urgent necessity of a defunctioning colostomy.

Three‐dimensional endoanal ultrasound measurements for the assessment of perineal body size in a cohort of Swedish nulligravidae

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
We provide normative data on perineal body dimensions in nulliparous women using high‐resolution 3D ultrasound. These findings enhance anatomical understanding and may support clinical assessment of perineal integrity in women. Abstract Introduction Despite the perineal body's important functional role, few studies have specifically evaluated its size ...

Subpubic arch angle and occult obstetric anal spincter injury in primiparous women: a prospective observational study

Scientific Reports
Occult obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI) are frequently underdiagnosed after vaginal delivery and may contribute to long-term pelvic floor dysfunction.

Female genital mutilation/cutting and risk of obstetric anal sphincter injury at delivery

Swiss Medical Weekly
OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence of obstetric anal sphincter injuries in women with female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) who delivered vaginally at the University Hospital in Geneva and to examine potential predictive factors for obstetric anal ...

The use of topical vaginal estrogens in postpartum women: A systematic review

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
A postpartum reduction in circulating estrogen levels, due to antagonism from elevated prolactin levels, further elevated during breastfeeding, can result in pelvic floor dysfunction, including bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction, pain and implications for perineal wound healing.

CAN THREE-DIMENSIONAL ANORECTAL ULTRASONOGRAPHY BE INCLUDED AS A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF ANAL FISTULA BEFORE AND AFTER SURGICAL TREATMENT?

Arquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2018
BACKGROUND: There is no a clear knowledge concerning the division of any part of the anal sphincter complex and the effect of this procedure on the function of the anal canal during the treatment of perianal fistula.

Feasibility and reproducibility of a novel introital exo‐anal ultrasound approach for assessment of the external anal sphincter

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional introital exo‐anal ultrasound approach combining high‐frequency imaging with curvilinear reconstruction enables reproducible visualization and measurement of the anterior external anal sphincter. This method provides a feasible, widely accessible tool for detailed anatomical assessment of the anal sphincter complex.
