It concerns young patients (average age = 19 years), Mossi, who had an excision done between age 6 and 14. The main reason for reference was the impossibility to have sexual intercourse. There were no post chirurgical consequences. The possible consequences are psychological trauma, dyspaneuria, dystocy of flabby tissues during future deliveries.
