In some units, 4th-degree lacerations occur in less than 0.5% of vaginal births, and 3rd-degree lacerations occur in less than 3% of vaginal births. Copyright 2003 by the American Academy of Family Physicians. The apex of the rectal mucosa is identified, and the mucosa is approximated using closely spaced interrupted or running 4-0 polyglactin 910 sutures (Figure 10).

Fourth-degree vaginal tears are the most severe. When I interviewed Lou, she was a part-time graduate student. Severe perineal lacerations, which include third- and fourth-degree lacerations, are referred to as obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS). Those that are symptomatic usually experience flatal incontinence or urgency and if these symptoms arise, to seek care from their physician immediately, as referral to a urogynecologist may be needed for further work-up and treatment. Severe perineal lacerations involving the anal sphincter complex pose a surgical challenge. But opting out of some of these cookies may affect your browsing experience.

ACOG Practice Bulletin No. Severe perineal lacerations, extending into or through the anal sphincter complex . [1][3]Most perineal lacerations that occur in a vaginal delivery can be classified as first- or second-degree. The anal sphincter complex lies inferior to the perineal body (Figure 2). Approximately 3% of lacerations involve clinically evident obstetric anal sphincter injuries, doubling the risk of fecal incontinence at five years postpartum.3,4 These lacerations are further classified by the extent of anal sphincter injury (Table 1).1, Less than 50% external anal sphincter involvement, More than 50% external anal sphincter involvement. The appropriate timeout was taken. Simulation models are recommended for surgical technique instruction and maintenance, especially for third- and fourth-degree repairs. The site was cleaned and dried, and sterile gauze and dressing were laid over the laceration repair. vol. 1194-8. This material may not otherwise be downloaded, copied, printed, stored, transmitted or reproduced in any medium, whether now known or later invented, except as authorized in writing by the AAFP. 117.

Episiotomy increases perineal laceration length in primiparous women. 2010. Skin sutures have been shown to increase the incidence of perineal pain at three months after delivery.15 [Evidence level B, uncontrolled trial] If the skin requires suturing, running subcuticular sutures have been shown to be superior to interrupted transcutaneous sutures.16 The 4-0 polyglactin 910 sutures should start at the posterior apex of the skin laceration and should be placed approximately 3 mm from the edge of the skin. 3a: less than 50% thickness of the EAS is torn. 2007. Previous perineal tears increase the risk of another, Encourage perineal massage weeks before delivery, The woman should be placed on complete bed rest, She should take a low residue diet and prune juice for at least five days. Perineal and vaginal lacerations are common, affecting as many as 79% of vaginal deliveries, and can cause bleeding, infection, chronic pain, sexual dysfunction, and urinary and fecal incontinence.1,2. A Cochrane review demonstrated that digital perineal self-massage starting at 35 weeks' gestation reduces the rate of perineal lacerations in primiparous women with a number needed to treat of 15 to prevent one laceration. [3][4][3]Access to absorbable suture, needle drivers, and pickups will also be required to complete the repair. [2]Flatal incontinence can persist for years after an OASIS. We recommend that only a trained clinician repair 3rd and 4th degree lacerations. Limited evidence suggests similar results from overlapping and end-to-end external sphincter repairs. (OASI): is an acronym used to describe third- and fourth-degree tears. It contains the superficial and deep muscles of the perineal membrane and is the most common site of laceration during childbirth.

The anal sphincter is then reapproximated with attention paid to include the fascial sheath of the muscle with the repair. Remaining steps of repair are the same as the 3rd degree repair. Repairs of 3rd and 4th degree lacerations can be billed either with a 22 or with a separate repair code from the integumentary section, if they have given enough information to use the code. Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Risk factors for severe obstetric perineal lacerations. Also, if your patient had an operative vaginal delivery or if meconium was present there can be an increased risk for infection. vol. Handa, VL, Danielsen, BH, Gilbert, WM.

The entire wound edge was reapproximated in the configuration in which it had been avulsed. [8]The midline episiotomy is the most commonly performed in the United States and is associated with a higher frequency of severe perineal lacerations. [2], Perineal massage has been shown to decrease the incidence of lacerations requiring suture, although the reduction was minor. Colorectal surgeons prefer to use this method when they repair the sphincter remote from delivery.14,17 The overlapping technique brings together the ends of the sphincter with mattress sutures (Figure 13) and results in a larger surface area of tissue contact between the two torn ends. In total, the wound exploration yielded only superficial findings. Fourth-degree lacerations are the most severe, involving the rectal mucosa and the anal sphincter complex. This content is owned by the AAFP. With severe perineal lacerations involving the anal sphincter complex, we irrigate copiously to improve visualization and reduce the incidence of wound infection. Slide show: Vaginal tears in childbirth. The anal sphincter is then reapproximated with attention paid to include the fascial sheath of the muscle with the repair. 2. Of these lacerations, 60-70% will require suturing. Treatment includes removing all sutures from the repair. Controls, matched 1:1, were patients who either sustained a second-, third-, or fourth-degree perineal laceration and repair without evidence of breakdown and who delivered on the same day and institution as the case. Most of the research on fourth-degree lacerations has been the quantitative examination of prevalence and risk factors, and limited research is available, specifically regarding fourth-degree lacerations. Laceration Repair Operative Transcription Sample Report, This site uses cookies like most sites on the Internet. 2. Close the rectal mucosa- If possible knots on the rectal side of the closure is preferable.

It is, however, always possible to sustain a third degree laceration without any of the previously mentioned risk factors. Leeman L, Spearman M, Rogers R. Repair of obstetric perineal lacerations. Obstetrical tears include:- Perineal lacerations (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th degree)- Labial tears, periclitoral tears, periurethral tears- Vaginal tears, cervical tears- Episiotomy Patient Education O Local anesthesia can be used for repair of most perineal lacerations. 627-35. True. Local anesthesia was achieved using ***cc of Lidocaine 1% ***with/without epinephrine. Copyright Cin-Med, Inc. Third degree tears involve the external anal sphincter and can be further classified into 3a, 3b and 3c. Products and services. Surgical glue can repair first-degree lacerations with similar cosmetic and functional outcomes with less pain, less time, and lower local anesthetic use. Recent evidence suggests that end-to-end repairs have poorer anatomic and functional outcomes than was previously believed.3,4 [ Reference3 Evidence level B, descriptive study; Reference4 Evidence level B, prospective cohort study]. Herein is described the surgical repair technique for a fourth degree perineal tear. 308. Obstet Gynecol. Opiates should be avoided to decrease risk of constipation; need for opiates suggests infection or problem with the repair. Therefore, unique codes should be assigned for repair of third and fourth degree perineal tears that describe each body part (i.e., anal sphincter and rectum) depending on the degree and body part involved. The more severe the laceration, the longer the return to normal sexual function.[10]. Long-term outcomes can include sexual dysfunction (dyspareunia, vulvo-vaginal pain or vaginal stenosis), flatal or fecal incontinence, rectovaginal fistula. 2. Second Degree: first-degree laceration involving the vaginal mucosa and perineal body. With lacerations involving the anal sphincter complex, particular attention must be given to anatomy and surgical technique because of the high incidence of poor functional outcomes after repair. Criteria from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) help determine repair techniques and estimate prognosis.1 Figure 1 shows the muscles affected by perineal lacerations.
