Zusammenfassung:Female genital mutilation (FGM) is an unusual condition for our country. However, an increase in FGM in future days can be predicted with the increasing numbers of exchange students coming from African countries, migration of refugees and socioeconomic relations with the African countries.

Physical examination findings and surgical reconstruction techniques were presented.
