Most female genital mutilations don't involve any interference with the birth path. It generally consists of chopping of a piece of the clitoris in the cases where it involves excision and the sowing together of the vagina they simply slit her open with a razor or sharp knife while the birth is taking place then sew her up again this happens in about 10% of female genital mutilations.

What is removal of foreskin called?

Removal of foreskin (whether male or female) is commonly called circumcision, from the Latin meaning "cut around". This word leaves out the most important fact, that something quite important to a man's sexual functioning is cut off and thrown away. It would be more accurately called "male genital cutting" because it is parallel in many ways with female genital cutting (especially the minor forms involving only the clitoral prepuce). Both are done for custom, habit, and conformity but with an extraordinary variety of other excuses given. The word "circumcision" carries a heavy freight of associations with ritual purity. The Jewish ceremony, carried out on the eighth day after birth, is called Brit Milah (Hebrew for covenant of cutting).
