Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatments at Primary Stage of Obstetric Injury

A multidisciplinary live webinar with leading speakers, organised by The MASIC Foundation, reflecting the diverse professional roles required to co-ordinate and deliver effective and individualised care for women who have experienced Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries (OASI).

Evidence-based presentations and Q & A with leading speakers on early treatments for obstetric injuries.

Evidence shows that when, how and who repairs an OASI (Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury) at the primary stage of injury will affect how the injured woman will recover from a severe tear and the complex symptoms that an OASI can bring.

This webinar provides presentations of best practice diagnosis, management and treatment of third- and fourth-degree perineal tears in the primary stage of obstetric anal sphincter injury.
