title: [Local anesthesia in cervix biopsy].
abstract: The Authors evaluated the perception of pain in a group of 35 patients undergoing cervical biopsy and the efficacy of using 40 mg of lydocaine (xylocaina spray) in 24 patients compared to a control group. Pain perception was evaluated using Scott-Huskissons's visual analogous scale. It was observed that this diagnostic method was painful and that premedication using topical anesthesia was an efficacious method of significantly reducing painful symptoms.
