ABSTRACT: Female genital mutilation (FGM) is still a topical
practice in several African regions or countries. They constitute a violation
of human rights, in particular because of their harmful consequences for the
health of the people who suffer them and are the source of various
complications. We report a case of FGM complications in the form of total
coalescence of the labia majora with a small hole from which urine flows
permanently. The management was a disinfubilation with suturing of the edges
and urethral reimplantation and the evolution was favorable with complete
healing after two (2) weeks.
