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

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, Volume 105, Issue 7, Page 1210-1220, July 2026.
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.
