Clitoral Reconstruction (CR) in FGM/C Patients

Surgical interventions to reconstruct the vulva together with psychosexual care have been proposed as a multidisciplinary care concept for women who have undergone female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). This cross-sectional study is to assess the experiences of multidisciplinary care of women who request CR at Geneva University Hospital (HUG) in order to analyze the expectations and motivations for clitoral reconstruction, to study the reasons for deciding against or in favor of CR and to study the outcome of the care received (CR+ psychosexual care versus psychosexual care alone) in sexual response, eventual dyspareunia, genital self-image and overall satisfaction through questionnaires.
