In a prospective trial conducted in France from 1998 to 2009, almost 3000 women 18 years and older from Mali, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and France who had suffered female genital mutilation underwent a new surgical procedure to restore clitoral anatomy and function. Most women in the study had a type II mutilation, which is removal of the clitoris and the labia minora, with or without excision of the labia majora.
