How can we improve our practices in obstetric anal sphincter injury prevention, diagnosis, and management of symptomatic women?

Résumé

Obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI) is strongly associated with a major negative impact on women’s health. Due to the consequences of an undiagnosed and therefore unrepaired OASI, it is essential to prevent or at least diagnose OASI at childbirth. We need to promote training of professionals to improve OASI screening at childbirth. High-risk situations such as operative delivery must be identified and preventive strategies such as the choice of a less traumatic instrument (vacuum) and mediolateral episiotomy should be considered. For a woman with OASI and/or symptoms, postnatal consultation with a specialist on pelvic floor disorders is essential to correctly orient her toward an adequate care pathway and to eventually identify occult or underestimated OASI. More data are required on therapeutic approaches for symptomatic women, primarily including physical therapy, sacral neuromodulation, delayed sphincter repair and palliative devices.
