4 Foreword One of the rewards of medical teaching is to see the next generation advance the art and science of medicine beyond their forebears. We can be justifiably proud of this anthology on Perineal and Anal Sphincter Trauma, which owes so much to the endeavours of the editorial team. In addition to their own contributions, they have recruited a body of topic authors of international standing. The result is a book of wide breadth and depth, covering many aspects of disorders of the posterior pelvic compartment, which have hitherto not been found in one volume. The choice of topics is wide, and the description and illustrations are clear and concise. They cover both innovative and current practice, all founded on an evidence basis. The intended readership is multidisciplinary, going beyond all those involved in front line obstetric care, to reach physicians, surgeons, radiologists and others, who deal with long term adverse effects of childbirth. This mirrors the professional background of the authorship. We are confident of its broad appeal and wish the book every success. Christopher N. Hudson Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology University of London Stuart L. Stanton Emeritus Professor of Urogynaecology University of London Bob L. Shull Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology Vice-Chairman, Department of Obstetrics/Gynecology Chief, Section of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery Scott and White Clinic Texas A&M College of Medicine Temple, USA v
5 Preface In the last two decades, there has been an increasing interest in obstetric perineal and anal sphincter trauma. This can be largely attributed to innovations in imaging, as it was the development of anal endosonography that led to the diagnosis of unrecognised anal sphincter trauma during childbirth. These sonographic injuries were initially considered to be occult, but it has now been established that the vast majority are in fact visible at the time of childbirth but remain undiagnosed. Consequently, attention is now focused on structured training programmes and hands-on workshops to improve understanding of anatomy and repair of perineal and anal sphincter trauma. However, despite primary repair of anal sphincter injuries, the outcome is not universally optimal, and research on the ideal management continues. This highlights the need to identify risk factors in order to minimise the development of perineal and anal sphincter trauma. This textbook aims not only to address these issues but also to provide in-depth information about anatomy and pathophysiology. In addition, other issues such as female genital mutilation, the management of faecal incontinence and medicolegal implications are also covered. In producing this book, we would like to acknowledge our mentors for their teaching and inspiration, the patients who made us question our practice and the research fellows who contributed to the research. We would like to thank the multidisclipinary authors for their timely submission of chapters; last but not least we would like to extend our appreciation to our families for their perseverance and understanding.
