    Journal: Akush Ginekol (Mosk); 1991 May; (5):60-2. PubMed ID: 1897676.
    Abstract:
    The paper gives the results of surgical management in 65 patients with cervical stump diseases. According to the pattern of the disease, 4 groups of patients were identified: 1) those with inflammatory diseases, 2) those with endometriosis, 3) those with myoma, and 4) those with prolapse of the cervical stump. Low-quality and inadequate suture material was found to be a cause of inflammatory diseases of the cervical stump. It is concluded that it is not expedient to use capron, lavsan, and silk to suture the cervical stump during supravaginal amputation of the uterus. Catgut, vicryl, debone were shown to be an optimal suture material. The practice of surgical management of patients with inflammatory diseases, endometriosis, cervical stump myoma and prolapse indicates that it is advisable to extend indications for uterine extirpation.
