The gynecological procedure, in which a part of the cervix is deeply excised with the capture of the cervical canal, is called conization.
Conization of the cervix can be carried out by different methods. Earlier, the knife method was used, that is, the cutting of the tissue with a surgical scalpel, later with an electron knife.
At the same time, due to significant damage to the tissues and the formation of postoperative scar, the neck often suffered a deformation, as a result of which the woman subsequently lost the fertile function (that is, the fertility ability). Modern cervical surgery uses a new progressive and non-traumatic method - using radio waves.
Advantages of the method of radioconilization of the uterus
Radioconization of the cervix is a low-trauma intervention. With the application of the radio wave method of conization of the cervix in the incision, coagulation of the dissected tissues takes place simultaneously, completely preventing the possibility of bleeding. The method is characterized by a very high accuracy of excision of the affected area. At the same time, the absence of the consequences of radioconialization of the cervix allows the patient to continue to have a childbearing function in the future.
Indications for the procedure
Indications for radio wave conization of the cervix are:
- dysplasia of the cervix ;
- widespread relapsing cervical erosion;
- The area of pathologically altered epithelium found during colposcopy.
Contraindications to the procedure are the presence of a woman acute inflammatory diseases of the genital area and diagnosed uterine cancer.
The procedure is scheduled for the first days after menstruation. This is done to ensure the absence of pregnancy and increase the time for the regeneration of the cervical tissues.
