Primary Repair of Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries (OASIS) by Surgeons (PROS Study)

NCT05898945 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 310

Summary

Third- or fourth-degree perineal tears, collectively known as Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries or OASIS, may occur following a vaginal birth. OASIS may have catastrophic consequences, including anal incontinence. Satisfactory primary repair of OASIS is prudent in reducing the risk of maternal morbidity. Although Obstetricians are typically involved in the acute repair of OASIS, General Surgeons may be called to assist in cases of severe anatomical disruption.

The investigators have constructed a survey to explore the experience and current practice of Emergency Surgeons in relation to the repair of OASIS. The investigators will gather information including their level of exposure, understanding of current guidelines and confidence in performing these repairs. This will help the investigators identify if further training is required and will enable them to put forward recommendations for future practice. The findings will be presented at conferences and meetings and published in journals.
