In her youth she had been circumcised by infibulation (i.e. the clitoris and anterior labia were removed and the wound edges were sewn together to obliterate most of the introitus). For delivery, it was necessary to incise the obliterated area. Subsequent to delivery, the patient's family requested that the introitus be re-infibulated. I refused and performed an anatomic repair.
What would you do?
>> I stitched a Sudanese woman up per her mother's instruction. I pulled the labia manora over the urethral opening and exposed urethral pad with interupteds. I am not experienced at plastic surgery and there didn't appear to be much tissue to work with. I couldn't rebuild her clitoris or labia majora. What did you do? Kay Johnson, CNM Atlanta, GA

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
