Interactive Networking Session: OASI management- a multi-national perspective

Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIs) are the most severe form of perineal trauma with potentially devastating effects on a mother’s quality of life. Optimal outcome after a repair is based on evidence-based practices. Join internationally renowned experts Ranee Thakar and Abdul Sultan on Saturday, July 10 at 1:00pm (13:00 UTC) as they explore international differences in practice, national guidelines, and the management of OASIs with Adanna Okeahialam, Kandice Wong, and Joanna Roper. 

Let us work together to produce an international guideline-based on the best evidence so that women we look after with OASI have the best chance of recovery.
