Abstract

Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI) occur in around 6.1% of first vaginal births and around 5–7% of subsequent vaginal births. The multidisciplinary OASI clinic plays a vital role in the postnatal, and subsequent antenatal, management of women with a history of OASI. This review will outline the recommended best practice for the outpatient postnatal management of women who have sustained a recent OASI and also the current guidance on mode of birth recommendations in a subsequent pregnancy after an OASI. It will explore the evidence supporting current practice recommendations to facilitate clinicians leading mode of birth discussions for women with a previous OASI.
