What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on the experiences of adult women who have undergone clitoral repair surgery due to sexual mutilation at the University Hospitals of Strasbourg. It aims to gather data on the outcomes and future implications for these patients, particularly in the context of their sexual health and well-being. The study highlights the ongoing issue of sexual mutilation, which affects millions of women globally, and seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of a specific surgical technique developed by Professor Foldès. By analyzing the post-operative experiences of these women, the study aims to contribute valuable insights into the long-term benefits and challenges faced by this population.
