Outcomes of primary anal sphincter repair after obstetric injury and evaluation of a novel three-choice assessment

ConclusionsAfter 6  months, severe symptoms after OASIS repair were present in 9% of women and were more frequent in older women, women with high-degree tears and after instrumental vaginal delivery. A three-choice assessment of AI symptoms correlated well with the Wexner score and might be useful to triage patients who need further evaluation.
