I don't think they're comparable.

There are three main types of circumcision:- The removal of the tip of the clitoris;
- Total removal of the clitoris and surrounding labia;
- The removal of the clitoris and labia and the sewing up of the vagina, leaving only a small opening for urine and menstrual blood - a process known as infibulation.
