Aim: To study obstetric complications linked to female genital mutilation (FGM). Patients and Methods: Our study was carried out in the obstetrics department CHU Point G. It was a case/control study. The case being the excised woman and the witness, the non-excised woman. Our study lasted sixteen months, from 01/01/2019 to 04/30/2020. Were included, primiparas from 14 to 49 years old excised or not. Not all non-consenting women were detained. The sample size was calculated based on the case/control sample. Data collection was done on individual questionnaires. Data analysis and processing was done on SPSS 12.0 and Word 2013. Statistical tests: Chi2. P < 0.05. Results: During our study we had 1518 deliveries of which 266 women included. The major age group was 14 - 19, or 51.1% in the cases and controls. The Bambara’s and Songhai’s were the majority ethnic groups in the two cases with respectively 34.6% and 31.1% with P < 0.00. The illiterate and the secondary level were respectively in the majority in the cases and the controls with respectively 57.8% and 59.3% with P < 0.00. Type 3 circumcision accounted for 12%. Episiotomy was performed in 56.4% of the cases and 5.3% in the controls with P < 0.05. The tears were noted in 51.1% in the cases against 11.3% in the controls and complicated in 23.5% with P < 0.05. Conclusion: FGM was a frequent practice in our countries and can be a source of obstetric complications such as hemorrhage due to tear of the soft parts. Measures must be taken to eradicate this scourge. Keywords: Female Genital Mutilation; Childbirth; Episiotomy; Perineal Tears
