Article Synopsis
- International migration has brought attention to female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) in nonendemic countries, increasing the demand for surgical reconstruction among affected women.
- The study analyzed the outcomes of three innovative surgical techniques for clitoral and vulvovestibular reconstruction in 119 women, focusing on their effectiveness in improving clitoral sensation and reducing pain-related symptoms.
- Results showed significant postoperative improvements in symptoms like dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia, with a notable enhancement in clitoral sensation and orgasm capability, indicating these techniques provide a promising treatment option for women affected by FGM/C.
