Prevalence of levator ani muscle injury in Chinese primiparous women after first delivery
Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 05/02/2012
Chan SSC et al. – The prevalence of levator ani muscle injury in Chinese primiparous women after their first vaginal delivery was 21.7% (95% CI 16.7% to 26.7%). Operative vaginal delivery was found to increase the likelihood of women suffering the injury. A longer follow–up of these women and future studies on effect of episiotomy are proposed.
