Lacerations during vaginal delivery are common and may involve the cervix, vagina, vulva, and perineum. While most of these lacerations do not result in poor long-term outcomes, perineal lacerations that involve the anal sphincter complex may be associated with a higher risk of pelvic floor injury, urinary and fecal incontinence, pain, and sexual dysfunction. While some risk factors are not modifiable, other risk factors are associated with practices at the time of delivery, including episiotomy, perineal protection during delivery, and surgical repair technique
