ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Female genital mutilation (FGM) covers all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external genitalia for non-therapeutic purposes. The period of pregnancy and childbirth is probably more at risk of complications for these women. The main aim of this study was to compare obstetrical, maternal and neonatal outcomes in patients with a history of female genital mutilation with patients without such a history. METHODS: All deliveries taking place between January 2005 and June 2022 at Besançon University Hospital in patients with a history of FGM were included. This group was compared with a randomly selected group of deliveries of patients with no history of FGM. A total of 87 deliveries with a history of FGM were included and compared with 696 deliveries with no history of FGM. RESULTS: There were significantly more instrumental deliveries (27.6% vs. 17.5%, P=0.01), more caesarean sections (23% vs. 14.1%, P=0.01), more episiotomies (9.2% vs. 0.7%, P<0.01), more first-degree perineal tears (30.8% vs. 20.8%, P=0.02), second-degree (13.9% vs. 5.3%, P<0, 01), third-degree (3.1% vs. 0.2%, P=0.02), more anterior perineal tears (23.1% vs. 2.5%, P<0.01), increased duration of pushing efforts (13 min vs. 10 min, P=0.05) and greater blood loss (297 cc vs. 165 cc, P<0.01) in the group with a history of FGM. There was no statistically significant difference in neonatal outcome. CONCLUSION: The obstetrical prognosis of patients with a history of FGM is significantly poorer. Neonatal prognosis remains unchanged.
