Resumen
COROADO, Mariana; BRAS, Rafael y FERNANDES, Eugénia. Isolated rectal tear after a vacuum delivery. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.1, pp.67-68. Epub 31-Mar-2021. ISSN 1646-5830.
Obstetric injuries comprising tearing of the rectovaginal septum or rectal mucosa with intact anal sphincters are highly uncommon and few reports are published. Obstetric perineal tears have precise guidelines regarding their risk factors, classification and management, but they don’t include isolated rectal mucosa injuries. We present a report of isolated rectovaginal tear detected after a vacuum delivery. The rectal laceration was promptly repaired, with optimum results and no complaints of flatus or stool incontinence at the follow-up visits.
