Prognostic factors for wound complications after childbirth‐related perineal trauma: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

The internal sphincter and anal fissure

open access: yesJournal of British Surgery, 1977
Abstract The activity of the internal anal sphincter in patients with fissure has been studied by measuring anal pressure and motility with a small balloon probe. The mean maximum anal pressure in 12 patients with fissure (116·8 ± 21·8, s.d., cm H2O) was significantly higher lhan that in 40 control subjects (85·0 ± 20·5 cm

Impact of episiotomy on anal incontinence following second‐ to fourth‐degree perineal tears—A cohort study

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
In over 12 000 Swedish primiparous women, anal incontinence was more common after severe perineal tears. Episiotomy did not raise the overall risk except for a slight increase in gas incontinence after second‐degree tears. Encouragingly, symptoms improved across all types of tears during the first‐year postpartum.

Self‐reported pelvic floor dysfunction 12 months after an obstetric anal sphincter injury in relation to maternal body mass index

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Self‐reported dyspareunia one year after an obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) is less common among overweight and obese women than in normal weight. The risk for anal incontinence does not differ between the BMI groups one year after an OASI, while the risk for UI increases with increasing BMI.
