The problem
Intervention: Current postoperative pain management protocols following clitoral reconstruction surgery
Who it was tested with: Women undergoing clitoral reconstruction after female genital mutilation, treated by 32 surgeons across 14 countries.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Between March and June 2020, 32 surgeons in 14 countries responded to an online questionnaire on care and analgesic protocols for CR surgery." This is a descriptive practitioner-level survey documenting current inadequate pain management practices rather than testing an intervention's effectiveness.
Study relies on surgeon self-report of practices and observations rather than direct patient pain measurements or clinical outcomes. Sample size is small (32 surgeons) and recruitment method may introduce selection bias.
