title: [Usefulness of endometrial curettage during cervical conization].
abstract: In order to determine the value of uterine curettage at the time of cervical conization, as well as morbidity for it, 318 patients were studied. The patients were sent because of abnormal Papanicolaous's test. The established diagnostic procedures were cervical biopsy directed by Schiller's test and/or colposcopy and cervical cone. In 151 cases cervical cone was done without endometrial curettage, and in 167 endometrial curettage was used simultaneously to cervical conization. The results show that curettage plus cervical conization had a morbidity of 9.6%, statistically significant (p less than 0.05) as compared with cervical conization (4%). Furthermore, there was an RR 2.7 times of greater risk with the first procedure, morbidity increased and it did not contribute to a more complete diagnosis.
