Perineal Tear – Perineal Tear Repairs by Dr. Atef J. Baakza Understanding Perineal Tears A perineal tear refers to an injury or tear that occurs in the tissue between the vagina and the anus (the perineum), most commonly during childbirth. Depending on the severity, the tear can involve only the skin and muscles or, in more severe cases, extend to the anal sphincter and rectal tissues. Women with perineal tears may experience: Pain and discomfort around the perineum Difficulty in controlling bowel movements (if the anal sphincter is involved) Painful intercourse Persistent wound issues or scar tissue formation When not properly repaired or if healing is incomplete, these tears can lead to long-term problems such as anal incontinence, pain, and functional impairment. What is Perineal Tear Repair? Perineal Tear Repair is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the structure and function of the perineal region after injury or inadequate healing from childbirth. The repair focuses on reconstructing the perineal muscles, realigning the sphincter if damaged, and improving both function and appearance of the perineal area. Procedure Overview Under the expert care of Dr. Atef J. Baakza, a renowned colorectal and perineal reconstructive surgeon, the repair is carried out meticulously to ensure optimal healing and functional recovery. The area is carefully examined to assess the extent of damage. Torn or separated muscles, including the anal sphincter (if involved), are precisely repaired using fine sutures. The perineal body is reconstructed to restore strength and support to the pelvic floor. The procedure helps relieve pain, restore control, and improve quality of life. Most repairs are performed under regional or general anesthesia and can be done as a day-care procedure. Why Choose Dr. Atef J. Baakza Dr. Atef J.
