In this retrospective pilot study, a blinded assessment of translabial ultrasound volume data showed agreement between clinical data and sonographic assessment of perineal integrity in 66% and of type of laceration in 50%. More work is needed to optimize the method in assessment of perineal scars to improve its performance before it can be used in clinical audit and research.
