Colposcopic, cytological and histological evaluation of the cervical stump 3 years after supravaginal uterine amputation.
Colposcopic, cytological and histological (endocervical curettage) evaluation of the remaining cervical stump was done 3 years after 99 supravaginal uterine amputations performed for benign condition. Peroperative electrocoagulation of the endocervical mucosa had been done in all the patients and postoperative ectocervical electrocoagulation in 39 (39.4%) cases. No active inflammatory, premalignant or malignant changes were detected at the 3-year examination of the cervix. Furthermore, normal adenomatous epithelium had been wholly or partly relaced by squamous epithelium in 89% of the cases.
