BJOG 2024; 131:1420-1429. [PMID: 38628037 DOI: 10.1111/1471-0528.17820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) among pregnant women, their clustering and their association with body image disturbance (BID) up to 1 year postpartum. DESIGN Monocentric prospective cohort study. SETTING University Hospitals Leuven. POPULATION Pregnant women attending for pregnancy care, first assessed prior to 14 weeks of gestation and agreeing to follow-up until 1 year postpartum. METHODS Standardised questionnaires reporting on PFD and BID at 12-14 and 28-32 weeks of gestation, and again at 6-8 weeks and 1 year postpartum. We calculated the prevalence of PFD, how the cases clustered and how the cases correlated with BID using a linear mixed-model analysis. A minimum of 174 women with complete follow-up were required. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The questionnaires used were the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF), St. Mark's Incontinence Score (SMIS), Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms (PAC-SYM), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory (POPDI), Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire IUGA Revised (PISQ-IR) and the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire (BIDQ). RESULTS Out of 208 women, 92.8% reported one or multiple symptoms of PFD at 28-32 weeks of gestation, dropping to 73.6% by 1 year postpartum. The most common symptoms were constipation (65.3% at 28-32 weeks of gestation and 42.8% at 1 year postpartum) and urinary incontinence (56.8% at 28-32 weeks of gestation and 35.1% at 1 year postpartum). After correcting for body mass index, parity and mode of delivery, the severity of BID was associated with the ICIQ-UI SF score (β = 0.016, range 0.007-0.024), the PAC-SYM score (β = 0.006, range 0.002-0.011) and the POPDI score (β = 0.009, range 0.005-0.012), but not with the SMIS score (β = 0.015, range -0.001 to 0.031) or the PISQ-IR score, in sexually active women. CONCLUSIONS Urinary incontinence, constipation and symptoms of prolapse have a measurable impact on BID.

Horst N. How to Avoid Becoming a Risk Factor of Fecal Incontinence Due to OASIS-A Narrative Review. J Clin Med 2024; 13:5071. [PMID: 39274283 PMCID: PMC11395989 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13175071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 09/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Third- and fourth-degree anal sphincter injuries are among the most severe traumas women can experience during childbirth, often leading to lifelong continence issues. Despite extensive research, current repair techniques are often inadequate, failing to provide long-term efficiency. The repair of OASIS tends to worsen with time as fecal or anal incontinence increases. This article presents the risk factors for primary repair failure differently from those previously described in the literature, specifically focusing on avoidable risk factors related to obstetricians and surgeons who perform OASIS repair. After reviewing the literature, the following risk areas were identified and described: recurrent OASIS, pitfalls of the current WHO classification, surgical techniques, place in which the repair should be performed, surgical training, factors related to low volumes of patients with grade III-IV injuries, timing of the repair, and failure of primary repair.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Pelvic floor damage can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction, including constipation. Most studies focus on constipation during pregnancy, whereas information regarding the mode of delivery in relation to constipation is limited. We hypothesise that women with a history of vaginal delivery report constipation more often than women with a history of caesarean section. METHODS This was a retrospective cross-sectional multicentre study conducted in the Netherlands. All included patients (n = 2,643) completed the Groningen Defecation and Fecal Continence questionnaire to assess bowel problems of the last 6 months. Parametric tests, Chi-squared, univariable and multivariable regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Among 2,643 parous women, 2,248 delivered vaginally (85.1%) and 395 (14.9%) by caesarean section. Altogether, 649 women (24.6%) suffered from constipation. Women in the vaginal delivery group were constipated more often than women in the caesarean section group (25.5% versus 19.0%, p = 0.005). For women who had delivered vaginally, multivariable regression analysis showed an odds ratio for constipation of 1.47 (95% confidence interval, 1.109-1.938, p = 0.007). The odds ratio for constipation in women with a spontaneous perineal tear was 1.4 times higher than in women with an intact perineum (p = 0.030). Furthermore, the vaginal delivery group reported difficulties regarding bowel emptying (p = 0.048), straining (p = 0.027), incomplete defecation (p = 0.043), not able to defecate daily (p = 0.018), manually assisted defecation (p = 0.015) and had higher Renzi scores (p = 0.043) more often. CONCLUSIONS Women in the vaginal delivery group have higher prevalences and odds ratios for constipation. Furthermore, a perineal tear during vaginal delivery increases the odds ratio for constipation.

ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY 2023; 62:486-496. [PMID: 37329513 DOI: 10.1002/uog.26292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to perform a systematic review of predictive factors for obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) occurrence at first vaginal delivery, with the diagnosis made by ultrasound (US-OASI). The secondary objective was to report on incidence rates of sonographic anal sphincter (AS) trauma, including trauma that was not clinically reported at childbirth, among the studies providing data for our primary objective. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, The Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.gov databases. Both observational cohort studies and interventional trials were eligible for inclusion. Study eligibility was assessed independently by two authors. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed to pool effect estimates from studies reporting on similar predictive factors. Summary odds ratio (OR) or mean difference (MD) is reported with 95% CI. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 statistic. Methodological quality was assessed using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. RESULTS A total of 2805 records were screened and 21 met the inclusion criteria (16 prospective cohort studies, three retrospective cohort studies and two interventional non-randomized trials). Increasing gestational age at delivery (MD, 0.34 (95% CI, 0.04-0.64) weeks), shorter antepartum perineal body length (MD, -0.60 (95% CI, -1.09 to -0.11) cm), labor augmentation (OR, 1.81 (95% CI, 1.21-2.71)), instrumental delivery (OR, 2.13 (95% CI, 1.13-4.01)), in particular forceps extraction (OR, 3.56 (95% CI, 1.31-9.67)), shoulder dystocia (OR, 12.07 (95% CI, 1.06-137.60)), episiotomy use (OR, 1.85 (95% CI, 1.11-3.06)) and shorter episiotomy length (MD, -0.40 (95% CI, -0.75 to -0.05) cm) were associated with US-OASI. When pooling incidence rates, 26% (95% CI, 20-32%) of women who had a first vaginal delivery had US-OASI (20 studies; I2 = 88%). In studies reporting on both clinical and US-OASI rates, 20% (95% CI, 14-28%) of women had AS trauma on ultrasound that was not reported clinically at childbirth (16 studies; I2 = 90%). No differences were found in maternal age, body mass index, weight, subpubic arch angle, induction of labor, epidural analgesia, episiotomy angle, duration of first/second/active-second stages of labor, vacuum extraction, neonatal birth weight or head circumference between cases with and those without US-OASI. Antenatal perineal massage and use of an intrapartum pelvic floor muscle dilator did not affect the odds of US-OASI. Most (81%) studies were judged to be at high risk of bias in at least one domain and only four (19%) studies had an overall low risk of bias. CONCLUSION Given the ultrasound evidence of structural damage to the AS in 26% of women following a first vaginal delivery, clinicians should have a low threshold of suspicion for the condition. This systematic review identified several predictive factors for this. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Abstract
PURPOSE There remains uncertainty as to which risk factors are important for the development of defaecatory problems as a result of heterogeneity of published evidence. Understanding the impact of risk factors may be important in selecting targets for disease prevention or reversal. The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate risk factors for faecal incontinence and chronic constipation. METHODS Risk factors for chronic constipation and faecal incontinence were long-listed from scientific literature, then anonymously evaluated (by 50 predominantly colorectal surgical experts from the UK Pelvic Floor Society) using a Delphi technique. Each risk factor was rated as independent, a co-factor, or not a risk factor. Independent risk factors were rated between 1 (not important) and 10 (critically important) with mean (± standard deviation) calculated. RESULTS Thirty-eight risk factors for chronic constipation were evaluated. Eighteen were classed as independent and 16 as co-factors. Opioid analgesia (7.87 ± 2.05), eating disorders (7.80 ± 1.72), and history of abuse (7.70 ± 1.89) were scored as most important independent risk factors. Female sex (6.60 ± 2.02) was considered an independent risk factor but increasing age was rated a co-factor. Thirty-three risk factors for faecal incontinence were evaluated. Twenty were classed as independent and eight as co-factors. Third- or fourth-degree tear (8.88 ± 1.57), instrumental delivery (8.47 ± 1.58), and grand multiparity (8.00 ± 1.63) were rated most important. Increasing age (7.41 ± 2.14) and female sex (7.58 ± 2.05) were both considered independent risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Several risk factors for chronic constipation and faecal incontinence were selected by Delphi approach. These factors will feed forward into Bayesian models of disease prediction that combine data and expert knowledge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Faecal incontinence is an important complaint reported by patients with Crohn's disease [CD] and it is associated with several disease-related mechanisms, including anorectal functional disorders. This study aimed to assess the anorectal function and clinical characteristics to identify parameters associated with faecal incontinence in CD patients. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 104 patients with CD, aged 18 years or older, from a referral centre between August 2019 and May 2021. Patients responded to a specific questionnaire, and underwent medical record review, proctological examination and anorectal functional assessment with anorectal manometry. RESULTS Of the 104 patients, 49% were incontinent. Patients with incontinence had a lower mean resting pressure [43.5 vs 53.1 mmHg; p = 0.038], lower mean squeeze pressure [62.1 vs 94.1 mmHg; p = 0.036] and lower maximum rectal capacity [140 vs 180 mL; p < 0.001]. Faecal incontinence was also associated with disease activity [p < 0.001], loose stools [p = 0.02], perianal disease [p = 0.006], previous anoperineal surgery [p = 0.048] and number of anorectal surgeries [p = 0.036]. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest reported study describing manometric findings of Crohn's disease patients with and without faecal incontinence. Our results identified an association between faecal incontinence and functional disorders, in addition to clinical features in these patients. Functional assessment with anorectal manometry may help choose the best treatment for faecal incontinence in patients with CD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide guidelines for the pelvic clinical exam in gynecology and obstetrics. MATERIAL AND METHODS A multidisciplinary experts consensus committee of 45 experts was formed, including representatives of patients' associations and users of the health system. The entire guidelines process was conducted independently of any funding. The authors were advised to follow the rules of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE®) system to guide assessment of quality of evidence. The potential drawbacks of making strong recommendations in the presence of low-quality evidence were emphasized. METHODS The committee studied 40 questions within 4 fields for symptomatic or asymptomatic women (emergency conditions, gynecological consultation, gynecological diseases, obstetrics, and pregnancy). Each question was formulated in a PICO (Patients, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) format and the evidence profiles were produced. The literature review and recommendations were made according to the GRADE® methodology. RESULTS The experts' synthesis work and the application of the GRADE method resulted in 27 recommendations. Among the formalized recommendations, 17 present a strong agreement, 7 a weak agreement and 3 an expert consensus agreement. Thirteen questions resulted in an absence of recommendation due to lack of evidence in the literature. CONCLUSIONS The need to perform clinical examination in gynecological and obstetrics patients was specified in 27 pre-defined situations based on scientific evidence. More research is required to investigate the benefit in other cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association of delivery mode and the number of pregnancies with anorectal manometry data in patients with postpartum constipation. METHODS This retrospective study included women with postpartum constipation treated at the pelvic floor rehabilitation department of Huzhou Maternity & Child Health Care Hospital between January 2018 and December 2019. RESULTS Among 127 patients included, 55 (43.3%) had one pregnancy, 72 (56.7%) had two pregnancies, 96 (75.6%) delivered spontaneously, 25 (16.7%) underwent Cesarean section, and six (4.7%) needed a Cesarean section despite spontaneous labor. The median duration of constipation was 12 months (range, 6-12). There were no differences between the two groups for any manometry parameters (all P > 0.05). The patients with a spontaneous delivery had a lower change in maximal contracting sphincter pressure compared with those with Cesarean section (14.3 (4.5-25.0) vs. 19.6 (13.4-40.0), P = 0.023). Only the delivery mode (Cesarean vs. spontaneous) independently affected the changes in contracting sphincter pressure (B = 10.32, 95%CI: 2.95-17.69, P = 0.006); age (P = 0.201), number of pregnancies (P = 0.190), and constipation duration (P = 0.161) were not associated. CONCLUSION The patients with a spontaneous delivery had a lower change in maximal contracting sphincter pressure compared with those with a Cesarean section, suggesting that patients with Cesarean may retain a better "push" function during defecation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Minorly skilled gynecologists are less likely to repair obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS), and this can lead to higher rate of de novo onset of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). The aim of this study was to understand the impact of surgeon skills in OASIS repair on de novo incidence of PFDs. METHODS An observational prospective cohort study performed between January 2019 and December 2020. We included 116 women with OASIS. At 6-weeks from delivery, women were divided into two groups in relation to the onset of PFDs. Characteristics were compared; categorical and continuous variables were assessed with chi-squared test and the Mann-Whitney rank-sum test respectively. Factors involved in PFDs development were analysed with explorative univariate analysis; significant (p<0.05) or approaching significance (p≤0.10) variables were included in multivariable analysis. RESULTS Seventy-six women (76/116; 65.5%) reported at least one PFD symptom and anal incontinence was the most prevalent (44.73%; 34/76). OASIS management by a skilled gynaecologist resulted protective for PFDs [aOR 0.33 (0.13-0.61)]. Skilled surgeon reported fewer PFDs than less skilled surgeon (4% vs 82.4%; p<0.0001). Operative delivery was more performed (32.5% vs 15.8%; p= 0.03) and severe OASIS resulted more prevalent (60% vs 17.1%; p<0.0001) among women without PDFs, even if these didn't affect the incidence of de novo PFDs [aOR 1.03 (0.23-1.45) and 0.83 (0.13-1.45), respectively]. CONCLUSIONS Surgeons skilled in OASIS repair resulted the only protective factor for incidence of de novo PFDs in women with OASIS at 6 weeks of follow up. Improvement of training in OASIS repair is necessary.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS The impact of body mass index (BMI) on pelvic floor recovery after an obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that urinary incontinence (UI) and anal incontinence (AI) are more common in overweight and obese women than in normal-weight women 8 weeks postpartum in women with OASI. METHODS A population-based cohort study including 6,595 primiparous women, with an OASI, delivered between 2014 and 2019. Exposure and questionnaire data were retrieved from the Swedish Perineal Laceration Registry. Uni- and multivariate analyses were used to compare normal-weight (BMI ≤24.9, reference), overweight (25.0-29.9), and obese (≥ 30) women with regard to UI and AI at 8 weeks post-partum. RESULTS Multivariate analyses showed an increased risk for urinary incontinence (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.27-1.87) among overweight women as well as among obese women (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.32-2.24). In contrast to our hypothesis, both overweight women (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.56-0.83) and obese women (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.49-0.87) were at a decreased risk for any gas and/or faecal incontinence after adjustment to possible confounding factors. The absolute rate of AI was 40.1% among normal-weight women, 34.2% among overweight women, and 29.1% in the obese group. CONCLUSIONS Urinary incontinence is more common, whereas AI is less common among overweight and obese women than in primiparous women with a BMI <24.9, 8 weeks after an OASI. The new finding, that overweight women report less AI than normal-weight women, merits further study.

Abstract
Faecal incontinence, which is defined by the unintentional loss of solid or liquid stool, has a worldwide prevalence of ≤7% in community-dwelling adults and can markedly impair quality of life. Nonetheless, many patients might not volunteer the symptom owing to embarrassment. Bowel disturbances, particularly diarrhoea, anal sphincter trauma (obstetrical injury or previous surgery), rectal urgency and burden of chronic illness are the main risk factors for faecal incontinence; others include neurological disorders, inflammatory bowel disease and pelvic floor anatomical disturbances. Faecal incontinence is classified by its type (urge, passive or combined), aetiology (anorectal disturbance, bowel symptoms or both) and severity, which is derived from the frequency, volume, consistency and nature (urge or passive) of stool leakage. Guided by the clinical features, diagnostic tests and therapies are implemented stepwise. When simple measures (for example, bowel modifiers such as fibre supplements, laxatives and anti-diarrhoeal agents) fail, anorectal manometry and other tests (endoanal imaging, defecography, rectal compliance and sensation, and anal neurophysiological tests) are performed as necessary. Non-surgical options (diet and lifestyle modification, behavioural measures, including biofeedback therapy, pharmacotherapy for constipation or diarrhoea, and anal or vaginal barrier devices) are often effective, especially in patients with mild faecal incontinence. Thereafter, perianal bulking agents, sacral neuromodulation and other surgeries may be considered when necessary.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify risk factors for opioid-induced constipation (OIC). METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 175 advanced cancer patients who were receiving pain treatment with opioids and were newly prescribed laxatives for OIC at Seirei Hamamatsu General Hospital between November 2016 and June 2021. For the regression analysis of factors associated with OIC, variables were extracted manually from clinical records. The effect of newly prescribed laxatives for OIC was evaluated as "effective" in cases where the number of spontaneous bowel movements increased at least once in the first 3 days. The OIC was defined based on Rome IV diagnostic criteria. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for OIC. Optimal cutoff thresholds were determined using receiver operating characteristic analysis. Values of P < 0.05 (two-tailed) were considered significant. RESULTS Significant factors identified included body mass index (BMI) (odds ratio [OR] = 0.141, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.027-0.733; P = 0.020), chemotherapy with taxane within 1 month of evaluation of laxative effect (OR = 0.255, 95% CI = 0.068-0.958; P = 0.043), use of naldemedine (OR = 2.791, 95% CI = 1.220-6.385; P = 0.015), and addition or switching due to insufficient prior laxatives (OR = 0.339, 95% CI = 0.143-0.800; P = 0.014). CONCLUSION High BMI, chemotherapy including a taxane within 1 month of evaluation of laxative effect, no use of naldemedine, and addition or switching due to insufficient prior laxatives were identified as risk factors for OIC in advanced cancer patients with cancer pain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Mouse knockout (KO) models of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) have contributed mechanistic evidence for the role of connective tissue defects, specifically impaired elastic matrix remodeling. Our objective was to summarize what mouse KO models for POP are available and what have we learned from these mouse models about the pathophysiological mechanisms of POP development. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and reported narrative findings according to PRISMA guidelines. Two independent reviewers searched PubMed, Scopus and Embase for relevant manuscripts and conference abstracts for the time frame of January 1, 2000, to March 31, 2021. Conference abstracts were limited to the past 5 years. RESULTS The search strategy resulted in 294 total titles. We ultimately included 25 articles and an additional 11 conference abstracts. Five KO models have been studied: Loxl1, Fbln5, Fbln3, Hoxa11 and Upii-sv40t. Loxl1 and Fbln5 KO models have provided the most reliable and predictable POP phenotype. Loxl1 KO mice develop POP primarily from failure to heal after giving birth, whereas Fbln5 KO mice develop POP with aging. These mouse KO models have been used for a wide variety of investigations including genetic pathways involved in development of POP, biomechanical properties of the pelvic floor, elastic fiber deposition, POP therapies and the pathophysiology associated with mesh complications. CONCLUSIONS Mouse KO models have proved to be a valuable tool in the study of specific genes and their role in the development and progression of POP. They may be useful to study POP treatments and POP complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to assess the relationship between anal incontinence (AI) 8 years after childbirth and the occurrence of Obstetrical Anal Sphincter Injury (OASI) and/or performance of an episiotomy during childbirth. METHODS This is a nationwide database analysis performed on two national medico-administrative databases, including all the women aged ≥18 years who delivered infants in France in 2012. The main outcome measure was AI in the 8-years after delivery. RESULTS Of the 163,443 perineal tears reported, 0.47% were grade-3 and 0.08% were grade-4; 8,938 women experienced AI (1.33%) and 261 women experienced severe AI (0.04%). Episiotomies performed in the absence of risk factors for OASI were significantly associated with an increased risk of AI (Odds Ratio (OR)=1.59; 95% Confidence Interval (CI):1.49-1.69;p<0.001). Grade 3 and 4 OASI also significantly increased the risk of AI and severe AI. Mediolateral episiotomy was preventative of OASI when performed in subjects at risk (OR=0.26; 95% CI:0.23-0.30; p<0.001) but contributed to OASI in the absence of risk (OR=2.18; 95% CI:1.98-2.40; p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS OASI is a risk factor for AI. Episiotomies could reduce the occurrence of OASI, but they could also have a increase the risk of long-term AI in the absence of risk factors for OASI.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction Urinary incontinence (UI), fecal inconti-nence (FI), and genito-pelvic pain or penetration disorder (GPPPD) are considered pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), and are mainly characterized by poor functionality of the pelvic floor muscles. Despite the relevance of these dysfunctions in women's lives, the demand for care is low. Objective To analyze the prevalence of PFD, in university women, and factors associated with PFD. Methods This is a cross-sectional study conducted at São Paulo State University, Marília, SP, Brazil, with undergraduate and/or postgraduate women aged over 18 years. An online questionnaire containing 40 open and multiple-choice questions about PFD was developed by the authors and a Google form was disclosed via social media (Facebook, Instagram) to the participants. The questionnaire was applied between April and July 2020. Results A sample of 707 participants was included. The average age was 22.5 ± 21.0 years old. The most prevalent PFD was GPPPD, reported by 30.7% of women, followed by UI (16.8%) and FI (3.2%). PFD was significant less reported in the Midwest region compared to other regions (p = 0.015) and significantly more prevalent in women who attended public university (p = 0.038), in women with UI, FI, and GPPPD. The association-test showed that attending public university showed association to UI (p < 0.001), FI (p = 0.008) and GPPPD (p = 0.006). In addition, parity showed association with GPPD (p = 0.032) and to attend health courses with UI (p = 0.002). Conclusion PFD is prevalent among university women and GPPPD was the most recurrent, followed by UI and FI. GPPPD was associated with parity and attending a public university. UI was associated with attending public university and health courses. FI was associated with attending a public university.

Abstract
Perineal injury during childbirth is a common event with important morbidity associated in particular with third-and-fourth degree perineal tears (also referred to as obstetric anal sphincter injuries-OASIS). Early diagnosis of these damages is mandatory to define a prompt therapeutic strategy and thus avoid the development of late-onset consequences, such as faecal incontinence. For this purpose, various diagnostic exams can be performed after a thorough clinical examination. The management of OASIS includes several measures and should be individualized according to the timing and features of the clinical presentation.
