  • Title: [Pelvic floor reconstruction after traumatic childbirth damage].
    Author: Franz HB, Hirsch HA.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1996; 121(8):688-91. PubMed ID: 8967217.
    Abstract:
    Vaginal delivery can result in direct injury to the anterior part of the anal sphincter. The goal of its repair is to restore the separated sphincters and connective tissue to their anatomical positions in order to achieve continence. The results are best when an anal sphincter rupture is repaired immediately following delivery, when the vascularity of the perineum and perivaginal tissues favours healing.
