TL;DR: The fast and reliable test proposed indicates the sphincter innervation pattern before delivery and helps obstetricians to evaluate the risks and to choose the preferred side of the episiotomy, if deemed necessary at the time of delivery.

TL;DR: A crosssectional survey of four public Israeli hospitals and review of the literature and a contribution to the extensive body of experience and experimental knowledge concerning a very controversial issue concerning episiotomy.

Distribution of innervation zones of the external anal sphincter and changes after vaginal delivery: Preliminary results of a multicenter study – TASI-2 (Technologies for Anal Sphincter analysis and Incontinence)

TL;DR: Low-cost, disposable and minimally invasive EMG probes will enable preventive screening of anal sphincter innervation zones to avoid iatrogenic denervation during episiotomy and subsequently minimize the risk of anal incontinence.

TL;DR: The aim of the TASI-2 project was to evaluate the effect of delivery related trauma on the external anal sphincter (EAS) muscle with surface electromyography (EMG) with the aim of reducing the incidence of anal incontinence.
