Picture of the cervix after cone biopsy

Cervical conization, also known as cervical cone removal surgery; conization of uterine cervix; cervical cone removal; cervical cone removal surgery. Contraindications include acute genital inflammation, genital tract infection, cervical invasive cancer, genital malformation, blood disease, and severe bleeding tendency. So, what are the photos of the cervix after cone biopsy? Let's have a simple understanding of this issue. I hope the following points will be helpful to everyone!

What are the photos of the healed cervix after cone biopsy?

After cervical conization, if you have experienced natural delivery or induced labor in late pregnancy, the cervix will be in a straight line shape. After conization, the cervix will have a round outer opening. The cervix itself is still cylindrical and light pink, no different from its appearance before surgery, only the outer opening of the cervix has changed. If a woman has never had an induced abortion or given birth before, her cervical opening is circular and will remain circular after cone biopsy, and no changes will occur. It is recommended to go to the hospital for regular physical examinations after cone biopsy. The main purpose is to understand whether the primary disease has been cured. If there are high-grade cervical lesions, cervical cancer screening can be done regularly to understand whether there is a possibility of cervical lesions.

Surgical treatment process of cervical conization

1. Basic disinfection and sterilization of private parts, vagina and cervix, spread disinfectant towel.

2. Use a retractor in the vagina to expose the cervix, and apply iodine solution to the entire cervix to determine the extent of the disease. Use rat-tooth forceps to clamp the cervix in the area not colored by iodine and gently pull the belt downward. A metal catheter is inserted into the bladder to measure the level of blood flow at the lower edge of the bladder.

3. Use surgical forceps to make a circular incision in a vertical position 0.3 to 0.5 cm outside the cervical disease, tilt it inward by 30° to 40°, and slowly perform a cone-shaped removal towards the shallow layer of the cervix. Note that the cone tip should be pointing toward the internal cervical os and the position should not be tilted so that the cervical tissue can be cut in a complete cone shape. Generally, the cone bottom width is 2 to 3 cm and the cone height is about 2.5 cm. But it should not exceed the internal os of the cervix. If there are blood spots on the cervical wound, you can use 3-0 intestinal suture or electrocautery to activate blood circulation, and seal part of it with gauze and remove it after 24 hours.

4. Surgical suture of the cervix is ​​seen during cervical resection, but it is not necessarily required.
