title: [The role of outpatient conization with a diathermy loop in the diagnosis and treatment of CIN].
abstract: The directed punch biopsy has a relevant role in the diagnosis of the CIN, mainly because of its simplicity. It is however advisable to take into account that it doesn't always reveal the exact histological degree of the cervical lesion, to the point of underestimating the invasive carcinoma. It is thus recommended, when atypical colposcopy and/or CIN2-CIN3 are diagnosed by directed punch biopsy, to define the diagnosis by preliminary large loop diathermy, also in those cases where a simple hysterectomy, because of a combined pathology, is being planned.
