Female circumcision is a problem unfamiliar to most Western obstetrician-gynecologists. We present a case illustrative of the unique management problems posed by these patients during labor. A method of releasing the anterior vulvar scar tissue to allow vaginal delivery is described. Sensitivity and a nonjudgmental approach as to what is culturally appropriate care for these women are of paramount importance.
女性割礼是大多数西方妇产科医生并不熟悉的一个问题。我们呈现一个病例，用以说明这些患者在分娩期间所带来的独特管理问题。本文描述了一种松解外阴前部瘢痕组织以实现阴道分娩的方法。对于这些女性而言，在文化上提供何种适当护理时保持敏感性和非评判性态度至关重要。
