摘要
During one year 118 patients were admitted to the operative gynecological ward of Banadir Maternity Hospital, Mogadishu, Somalia, with diseases related to the practice of female circumcision. Fifty-five per cent of the patients were suffering from a dermoid cyst at the site of the excised clitoris. Thirty-six percent had a vaginal stenosis and 9% an abscess at the site of the excised clitoris. These patients occupied the beds of the hospital for a total period of 1967 days which posed a significant constraint to the health services of the hospital.
