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.

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
