External Phase MRI in Diagnosis of OASI

NCT03039374 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 53

Last updated 2017-11-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

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.

Conditions

  • Anal Sphincter Injury
  • Obstetrics Trauma

Interventions

OTHER

Magnetic resonance imaging

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