Abstract

Female genital mutilation (FGM) includes procedures that intentionally alter or cause injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. To presenta case of type III FGM corrected by de-infibulation for treatment of sexual dysfunction. A 31-year-old woman who had FGM reporting unconsummatedmarriage presented to our clinic clinic. The patient had undergone type III FGM at age 7 in her country. Surgical correction was performed. By deinfibulation,the vaginal and urethral orifices were revealed after incision of scar tissue. The World Health Organization classifies FGM in four types. TypeIII FGM is narrowing of the vaginal orifice with the creation of a covering seal by cutting and appositioning the labia minora and/or the labia majora, withor without excision of the clitoris (infibulation).

Özet

Kadın genital mutilasyonu (FGM), kadın dış genital organlarının tıbbi olmayan nedenlerle eksizyon yöntemi veya kadın genital organlarının yaralanmasına yol açan prosedürleri içerir. Seksüel disfonksiyonun tedavisi için de-infibulasyon cerrahisi yapılan tip III FGM olgusunu sunmaktır. FGM tanısı konan 31 yaşında kadın hasta cinsel ilişkiye girememe şikayeti ile kliniğe başvurdu. Kendi ülkesinde 7 yaşında tip III FGM uygulanan hastaya düzeltme cerrahisi yapıldı. De-infibulasyon cerrahisi ile skar dokusunun insizyonu sonrası vajinal ve üretral orifisler ortaya çıkarıldı. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü, FGM’yi dört tipte sınıflandırır: Tip III (infibulasyon) klitoris eksizyonu olsun olmasın labia minora ve/veya labia majusun kesilmesi ve mühürlemesi yoluyla vajinal orifisin daraltılması işlemidir. Seksüel disfonksiyon ve doğumla ilgili komplikasyonların çözümü için de-infibulasyon cerrahisi önerilir.
