Abstract
Vaginal delivery can result in direct injury to the anterior part of t he anal sphincter. The goal of its repair is to restore the separated sphincters and connective tissue to their anatomical positions in orde r to achieve continence. The results are best when an anal sphincter r upture is repaired immediately following delivery, when the vascularit y of the perineum and perivaginal tissues favours healing.
