[Evaluation of the follow up results of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia III after surgical treatment].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the follow-up results of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia III (CIN III) after surgical treatment.


METHODS
A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with CIN III after surgical treatment between Jan 1st, 1999 and Jun 30th, 2004 was performed. The follow-ups of the patients after surgical treatment were assessed.


RESULTS
In the follow-up of patients with CIN III after surgical treatment, the rate of abnormal cytology was 9.3%. The rate of follow-up was higher in patients with cervical conization than in patients with initial hysterectomy and in patients of the oncological group than of the non-oncological group. The rate of follow-up was lower in patients over 40 years old. There was no difference in the residential areas of the patients.


CONCLUSIONS
Cytological follow-up of patients with CIN III after operation is varied. The rate of follow-up is lower in patients over 40 years old, in patients having initial hysterectomy and in patients of the non-oncological group. The rate of follow-up is associated with the knowledge about CIN of both surgeons and patients.
