Infibulation is the ritual removal of the vulva and its suturing, a practice found mainly in northeastern Africa, particularly in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Sudan.[1] The World Health Organization refers to the procedure as Type III female genital mutilation.
The term can also refer to the entirely different practice of placing a clasp through the foreskin in men; for more information see the article Fibula (penile).
