  • Title: Management of residual squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix after conization.
    Author: White CD, Cooper WL, Williams RR.
    Journal: W V Med J; 1993 Sep; 89(9):382-5. PubMed ID: 8310692.
    Abstract:
    From January 1985 to October 1992, 158 conizations of the cervix were performed for squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) of the cervix. Thirty-one (20.4%) of these cases had disease extending to the margins of resection. The majority (60.7%) had spontaneous resolution of disease. Conservative follow-up aided by the body's own immune system may allow an even greater percentage to resolve spontaneously. Smoking presents an added factor for persistent as well as recurrent disease.
