Abstract:
Due to current migration flows, the practising obstetrician is likely to encounter parturient women carriers of female genital mutilations (FGM). This article describes the obstetrical complications related to the latter. We compared a group of mutilated patients (n = 69) to a control group (n = 162) and studied the data concerning pregnancy, childbirth, newborn, postpartum and length of hospital stay. Among the mutilated patients, 44% were group B streptococcus carriers against 23 % in the control group (p inferior to 0.01). As regards the perineum, an episiotomy was performed in 31 % of patients in the FGM group versus 35 % of the control group; a tear occurred in 42 % of vaginal deliveries in the FGM group against 26 % in the control group.
