How Can Anal Sphincter Damage Occur?


Obstetric damage and, in particular, the failure of treating obstetricians to identify the full extent of perineal tears after delivery can have devastating consequences.

However, it is difficult for junior obstetricians and midwives to tell whether a perineal tear or episiotomy extends into the rectal tissue or into the anal sphincter.

It is crucial that the full extent of such injuries is identified immediately following delivery and repaired by an experienced doctor in ideal conditions, often in theatre.

Unfortunately, all too often the extent of the injury is missed and the anal sphincter or rectal tissue is not repaired properly, leading to a breakdown of the repair, infection, formation of fistula, passage of faeces into the vagina, or long-term problems with incontinence of faeces and flatus.
