Cervical conization (CPT codes 57520(Cold Knife) and 57522(Loop Excision)) refers to an excision of a cone-shaped sample of tissue from the mucous membrane of the cervix. Conization may be used either for diagnostic purposes as part of a biopsy, or for therapeutic purposes to remove pre-cancerous cells. Types include: * cold knife conization (CKC). Usually outpatient, occasionally inpatient. * loop electrical excision procedure (LEEP). Usually outpatient. Conization of the cervix is a common treatment for dysplasia following abnormal results from a pap smear. ==Side effects== Side effects of the treatment may include cervical stenosis with resulting hematometra (collection of blood in uterus). This procedure may increase the risk of incompetent cervix. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cervical conization」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
