lüll Care of women with female genital mutilation/cutting Abdulcadir J; Margairaz C; Boulvain M; Irion OSwiss Med Wkly 2011[]; 140 (ä): w13137In multi-ethnic European society medical professionals are faced with an increasing number of women originating from countries where female genital mutilations/cuttings (FGM/C) are practised. Recent studies, however, emphasise the lack of knowledge on this subject. This review article aims to present FGM/C as a complex socio-healthcare and multidisciplinary issue, outlining the definition, classification, epidemiology and anthropologico-legal aspects of FGM/C. It explains the approach to be adopted to FGM/C women, focusing on defibulation, clitoral restoration/repair and re-infibulation. Finally, it reports on the discussions surrounding pricking/nicking and the proposals for alternative rituals in recent years.|*Human Rights Abuses[MESH]|*Women's Health Services[MESH]|Africa/ethnology[MESH]|Circumcision, Female/ethnology/legislation & jurisprudence/*rehabilitation/statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Emigrants and Immigrants/statistics & numerical data[MESH]|Europe/epidemiology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Surgery, Plastic/methods[MESH] |
