Residents' Exposure to Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury: A 16-Year Temporal Trend
During 4 years of training, average resident exposure was to 7 OASIS, 6 third degree, and 1 fourth degree. Limited exposure to OASIS during residency may be detrimental, as surgical treatment is a complicated yet essential obstetric procedure that carries significant risk of patient morbidity and potential long-term sequelae. Therefore, reliance on supplementation with simulation may improve surgeon competence in OASI management.
