1. Endosonography of the anal spincter in women with particular reference to obstetric sphincter tears
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
2. Sphincter injuries and anal incontinence after vaginal delivery : a clinical and physiological study
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
3. To tear and to heal : pelvic floor dysfunction and childbirth
Sammanfattning : Background: Up to 80% of women are affected by a perineal laceration after their first vaginal birth. An estimated 40–50% of lacerations involve the perineal muscles, and up to 7% are obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI). LÄS MER
4. Faecal incontinence : Aspects of diagnosis and treatment
Sammanfattning : 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... LÄS MER
5. Pelvic floor dysfunction after childbirth : symptoms, diagnosis, treatment
Sammanfattning : 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). LÄS MER
