  • Title: Management of severe cervical stenosis after conization by detention of nylon threads tied up to intrauterine contraceptive device.
    Author: Nasu K, Narahara H.
    Journal: Arch Gynecol Obstet; 2010 May; 281(5):887-9. PubMed ID: 19672609.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy of the insertion of intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) tied up with nylon threads for the treatment of cervical stenosis after conization. METHODS: Dilatation of the cervical canal and insertion of IUCD tied up with nylon threads was performed in four patients with symptomatic cervical stenosis after conization. After three courses of regular menstruation, the IUCD with nylon threads was removed. RESULTS: Total relief of symptoms was achieved in all four patients without any management-related complications. There was no evidence of recurrent cervical stenosis at follow-up in any of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: Detention of nylon threads tied up to IUCD provides an easy and reliable conservative management technique for post-conization cervical stenosis.
