[Reconstructive plastic surgery of the clitoris after sexual mutilation].
This article describes a clitoris reconstruction technique after ritual excision. After resection of the scar, the angle and the body of the clitoris are then released by preserving the innervation. A clitoral glans is reconstituted by wedge plasty, then reimplanted in an anatomical position. This technique is designed to restore normal anatomy and obtain a normally innervated and whenever possible functional organ.
