Self deinfibulation during unassisted home delivery: a hitherto unknown dimension of female genital mutilation?

Abstract: The severe scarring and distortion which follows genital mutilation may make subsequent childbirth difficult or traumatic. Deinfibulation has been advocated and practiced in hospitals. We present a patient who deinfibulated herself during a successful home delivery, and presented to hospital thereafter.
