Introduction: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a public health problem.\nThere are 100 to 140 million girls and women who suffer every year in the\nworld [1]. The aim of this study is to improve the medical care and reduce\ncomplications of FGM at the Regionalhospital of Nâ??zérékoré, to determine\ntheir frequency, and to evaluate the maternal-fetalprognosis. Methods: The\nstudy was conducted at the Regional Hospital of Nâ??zérékoré. This was a\ncross-sectional, descriptive and analytic study of 6 months, from 1 September\n2016 to 28 February 2017, including all pregnant women admitted for childbirth\nwho had a complication of female genital mutilation. Results: A total of\n1295 women gave birth in the service, of which 1204 women were women with\nfemale genital mutilation. Given a frequency of 92.97%, of these 1204 mutilated\nwomen, 223 presented obstetrical complications during their delivery, a\nproportion of 17.22%. They were mostly young patients, mostly housewives\nwho were not in school. Type II FGM was the most common (53.06%). Obstetric\ncomplications were dominated by complicated perinatal tears (54.08%),\nand hemorrhages (40.81%). The catch was dominated by perineorrhaphy.\nConclusion: The frequency of FGM was 92.97% and that of their obstetric\ncomplications 17.22%. Most were house-wives, not in school. There was FGM\ntype II. The abandonment of FGM would reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity\nand mortality.
