Abstract
- Miss OO was seen at the gynaecology clinic in April 2008 with history of a road traffic accident three years earlier. She was thrown off a motorcycle and fell astride a culvert, sustaining perineal injury. She was treated at a private hospital, but subsequently developed faecal incontinence and was usually soiled with faecal matter during coitus. Examination revealed loss of perineal body and reconstruction was done, with success. With increase in motorcycle accidents on our roads, many more gynaecologically-related traumas are bound to occur. Proper and timely referral will lead to improved management with reduced psychosocial trauma. Organized awareness creation programmes will reduce these accidents in the long-term.
