Abstract
Humanitarian surgical caravans for urogenital fistula cures are a godsend for patients with limited financial resources. Some patients with urogenital conditions other than fistulas sometimes take advantage of this opportunity to have their condition optimally managed.
We report the case of a 21-year-old woman. She had a history of genital mutilation in childhood.
Since childhood she had had an involuntary flow of urine through the vulval orifice.
She became one of the patients selected for the caravan of humanitarian surgery. Clinical examination revealed infibulation of the external genital organs. A labioplasty was successfully performed.
