Summary
This study compared a new portable device (THD Anopress) with the standard high-resolution manometry for measuring anal sphincter pressures in 53 women who had severe perineal tears during childbirth. The goal was to see if the cheaper, faster device gives accurate results. The findings could help doctors advise women on future pregnancies and deliveries more easily.
