title: [Importance of electroconisation in diagnosis and therapy of precursory and early forms of cervical carcinoma (author's transl)].
abstract: Conisation is the optional method by which to elucidate suspicious cytological findings. Diagnostic and therapeutic electroconisation is the subject of this paper. The report is based on 1,132 electroconisations. Histological tissue assessment was in no way impaired in more than 98 per cent of all cases. Anatomic results were excellent. The method is characterised by little effort and high speed. Histologically, lesioned tissue was removed from among "intact tissue area" in 71 per cent of all cases of carcinoma in situ and in 43 per cent of all cases of microcarcinoma. In many cases, electroconisation was chosen for definite therapy.
