The main objective of this study is to compare post partum rates of anal sphincter rupture (that is to say the rate of sutures) diagnosed in women with ≥ 2nd degree vaginal tears between two groups: (1) women who are screened just after delivery by performing a perineal ultrasound versus a similar group of women who did not receive screening. This study was not designed to evaluate ultrasound as a diagnostic test but to compare the rate of perineal surgical procedures in each arm.
