2. 1. Endosonography of the anal spincter in women with particular reference to obstetric sphincter tears

   Author : Marianne Starck-Söndergaard; Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; anal sphincter; childbirth; obstetric sphincter tears; Anal endosonography; endosonographic sphincter defects; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study the endosonographic morphology of the anal sphincter in women, to establish an endosonographic sphincter defect score and to relate it to anal incontinence and anal sphincter pressure. A further aim was to determine intra-observer and inter-observer agreement in detection of endosonographic anal sphincter defects. READ MORE

4. 2. Sphincter injuries and anal incontinence after vaginal delivery : a clinical and physiological study

   Author : Jan Zetterström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Obstetric sphincter injury; anal sphincter defect; anal incontinence; perineal body; endoanal ultrasonography; anorectal manometry; pudendal nerve terminal motor latency;

   Abstract : Objective: To investigate the frequency and degree of anal incontinence after vaginal delivery in primiparous women, to determine risk factors for obstetric sphincter tears and to evaluate outcome of primary repair, to evaluate perineal body measurement (PBM) in patients with obstetric sphincter injuries, to study anal sphincter morphology and function before and after delivery, and to evaluate primiparous women who had sustained a sphincter tear or developed anal incontinence after delivery. Methods: Questionnaires regarding anal incontinence before pregnancy, at five and nine months after delivery were used. READ MORE

   Abstract : Rectal reservoir function and anal pressures were investigated using anorectal manovolumetry in 48 patients with faecal incontinence and in 25 control subjects. Resting and squeeze pressures were lower in patients (p... READ MORE

7. 5. Pelvic floor dysfunction after childbirth : symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

   Author : Emilia Rotstein; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Vaginal delivery is a trauma to the levator ani muscles, the perineal muscles, and the anal sphincter complex (1-3). A levator ani deficiency cannot be surgically remedied and increases the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction later in life (4-6). READ MORE
