title: Colposcopy.
abstract: Colposcopy is the ideal method of establishing the site, nature and extent of abnormal areas of the uterine cervix or vagina. Use of the three modalities of cytology, colposcopy and histology will enable an accurate diagnosis to be made. Appropriate, well documented treatment can be planned and confirmed under anaesthesia. Follow-up of treated lesions can also be accurately performed.
