This in person event is a critical one-day course offering a deep dive into the management of fourth-degree obstetric anal sphincter injury and rectal buttonhole tears.
Designed in response to the significant impact these injuries have on women's quality of life and the subsequent legal implications, this course equips clinicians with the skills, latest techniques and insights for confident management of these conditions.
Led by experienced clinicians, including Abdul Sultan and RCOG President Ranee Thakar, the event features a comprehensive programme including lectures, workshops, panel discussions and practical teaching sessions.
