Brief Summary

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

Obstetric anal sphincter injuries are a source of significant short-term (pain, bleeding, infection, suture dehiscence), medium-term (anorectovaginal fistulas, sexual dysfunction), and long-term (anal incontinence in 30-60% of cases) morbidity. However, they are underdiagnosed and sometimes poorly repaired due to technical difficulties, the use of inappropriate surgical techniques, or a lack of awareness of their significant long-term morbidity. These diagnostic and therapeutic errors, however, significantly worsen the functional prognosis of patients. This study aims to evaluate the clinical impact of an educational program designed for continuing education in the diagnosis and repair of obstetric anal sphincter injuries for staff working in the delivery room.
