Clitoral reconstruction is surgery to restore the function and structure of the clitoris. It is an example of clitoroplasty.
Examples of clitoral reconstruction include its use to mitigate congenital malformation or repair damage caused by female genital mutilation.[1][2]
Clitoral reconstruction after female genital mutilation involves surgery to expose the remaining deep structures of the clitoris. As of 2023[update], there was little evidence for the therapeutic effectiveness of this procedure.[3]
