Referrals are integrated into the post-delivery, in-hospital order set for antibiotics and laxatives for patients who have sustained a third- or fourth-degree tear during delivery.

Alternatively, fax this form (PDF) to both 416-586-8343 and 416-586-8387.

A short-term follow-up (usually less than two weeks) and longer-term follow-up (at least three to four months post-delivery) will be arranged.

If you would like to receive our quick reference guide on diagnosing and repairing perineal tears, please contact us at [email protected].
