[Pregnancy after conisation for atypical epithelial processes of the uterine cervix (author's transl)].
At the First Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Vienna Medical School, 148 females aged under 35 years at the time of conisation were examined between 1963 and 1974 to determine their desire for children, their fertility status and the course of pregnancy. After conisation a total of only 42 females (28,4%) wanted children. Of 104 patients with preinvasive carcinoma, a desire for children was reported by no more than 21 (20,2%); among the cases with dysplasia, the number of women desiring children was equally 21 (47,7%). By the end of 1976, after a followup period of 1 to 13 years, 16 of 42 females wanting children failed to conceive, while the remaining 26 gave birth to 20 children. Judging from our admittedly small material, conisation thus apparently has no effect on conception. However, the course of pregnancy was found to be impaired in some cases by the incompetent cervical function. Twelve patients required a Shirodkar operation, which failed to prevent late abortion in 2 cases and premature delivery in 4. Nine women gave birth at or at best 3 weeks before term without preventive methods.
