A one-stop perineal clinic: our eleven-year experience.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The perineal clinic is a dedicated setting offering assessment for various childbirth-related presentations including obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIs), perineal wound complications, pelvic floor dysfunction and other conditions such as female genital mutilation(FGM). We describe the clinical presentation and outcomes of women from a tertiary perineal clinic based on data collected over an 11-year period.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational study.

The consequences of undiagnosed obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) following vaginal delivery.

Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to compare anal and urinary incontinence symptoms and anal manometry between women with undiagnosed obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) and women who had OASIS diagnosed and repaired.

Methods: This was a matched retrospective cohort study. Each missed OASI was matched with a diagnosed OASI for severity [minor (3a/b) or major (3c)], parity and length of follow-up.
