  • Title: Role of microcolposcopy in the diagnostic evaluation of cervical pre-invasive lesions.
    Author: Pasetto N, Piccione E, Sesti F.
    Journal: Int J Gynaecol Obstet; 1991 Mar; 34(3):249-52. PubMed ID: 1673943.
    Abstract:
    The present clinical study was undertaken to assess and compare the value of microcolposcopy and endocervical curettage in the diagnostic workup of patients with abnormal cervical lesions. Microcolposcopic findings were well correlated to histology both on directed biopsy and endocervical curettage specimens. Therefore, both microcolposcopy and endocervical curettage are useful procedures to explore the endocervical mucosa. Microcolposcopy should be mainly indicated in those cases where colposcopy has failed to show any lesion, or when colposcopy is unsatisfactory.
