  • Title: Cold-knife cervical conization.
    Author: Ali A, Bassaw B, Roopnarinesingh S.
    Journal: West Indian Med J; 1993 Dec; 42(4):149-51. PubMed ID: 8160456.
    Abstract:
    Forty-six cervical conizations were performed over a ten-year period for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Twenty-nine women were under 45 years of age. The most common reason for conization was an abnormal Papanicolaou smear. The overall incidence of neoplasia was 80.4 per cent. The high complication rate of 28.4 per cent emphasizes the need for a less traumatic technique of excisional biopsy.
