Hypothesis / aims of study Obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASIS) is the most common cause of anal incontinence and ano-rectal symptoms in women. Sustaining an OASIS carries a significant impact on women's physical and emotional health. The hallmark of adequate management relies on correct diagnosis immediately after the injury occurs according to RCOG guidelines with sub-classification into grade 3A, 3B, 3C or 4 degree tears and subsequent follow-up in dedicated perineal clinics. The implementation of a handson workshop has been suggested to improve OASIS classification and consequent repair. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of a hands-on workshop, protocol adherence, and 3D transperineal ultrasound follow-up on the diagnosis, management and outcome of women with OASIS.
