| Abstract | The incidence obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI) in the UK is 2.9% (0-8%). It complicates 6.1% of primiparous labourers and 1.7% of the maltiparrous (1). Nulliparity, fetal weight (FW), instrumental delivery (ID) and induction of labour (IOL) are few of the recognised risk factors for OASI. Following appropriate management 60-80% of OASI patients are asymptomatic within a year. However, if the injury is not treated properly it can lead to faecal incontinence and dyspareunia. |
