Introduction

Validated questionnaires and urodynamic studies are used to diagnose and evaluate female lower urinary tract symptoms (FLUTS) including urinary incontinence and or urgency. Objective To validate and use Sinhata translations of the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire for FLUTS (ICIQ-FLUTS) and the King`s Health Questionnaire (KHQ).

Introduction

Incidence of caesarean section performed at full dilatation is increasing. Delivery can be technically challenging and associated with increased maternal and neonatal morbidity. The objectives of this study were to evaluate local caesarean section rate at full dilatation, assess the indications, review the maternal and neonatal morbidity and identify any training issues.

Hypothesis / aims of study:

To evaluate a new service experience & the rate of Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injuries (OASIS) with the use of Episcissors at
instrumental deliveries.

Background

Episcissors-60 ® are fixed angle surgical scissors used for episiotomy during childbirth. They are designed to take away human error in estimating episiotomy angles and achieve a mediolateral cut at 60° to the perineal midline, hence minimising the risk of obstetric anal sphincter muscle injuries (OASIS) which requires surgical correction.` Initial results after the introduction of Episcissors-60 show that the majority of health care professionals a
