  • Title: [Cervical conization in dysplasia and carcinoma in situ. Role of concomitant uterine curettage].
    Author: Kazadi Buanga J, Acosta Vazquez MJ.
    Journal: Rev Fr Gynecol Obstet; 1994 Dec; 89(12):602-5. PubMed ID: 7846467.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Reevaluation of the usefulness of routine uterine curettage with every cervical cone biopsy. MATERIAL: Retrospective analysis of 250 cervical cone biopsies over an 18 year period. RESULTS: 240 analysable cases were included. 90 patients had undergone cone biopsy only and 150 cone biopsy accompanied by uterine curettage. Curettage material was histologically normal 115 times (76.6%), negative or invalid 26 times (17.3%) and pathological 10 times (6.6%). Pathology consisted of 7 cases of hyperplasia and 3 of endometritis. CONCLUSION: Routine uterine curettage whenever cone biopsy is performed is of no value other than in certain special circumstances concerning clinical status and ultrasound findings.
