Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is around 60 000 births annually in Finland. Around 1-5% of all vaginal deliveries in Finland complicate in a Grade III- IV perineal tear. Because the diagnosis of a sphincter lesion after birth can be challenging the total amount of women having obtained a sphincter lesion could be even grater.

The aim of our study is to compare different tools in the diagnosis of obstetric anal sphincter injury. In doing so the investigators hope to achieve early diagnosis of this pathology and thus facilitate early treatment of a possible sphincter defect.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

OASI patients

All patients older than 18 and a 3rd or 4th degree perineal tear during birth meet the inclusion criteria. All women who have obtained such a injury during birth in the Vaasa or Seinäjoki Central hospitals will be evaluated for eligibility.

Magnetic resonance imaging

Intervention Type OTHER

The extent of obstetric anal sphincter injury will be evaluated using MRI, endoanal ultrasound and anal manometry
