Re: Cervical stenosis 8 months post conizationFrom: Rafael Haciski, MD (haciski@earthlink.net)Mon Feb 22 22:10:36 1999
How did you close the defect after the cold-knife cone? How deep was the cone? That may have some bearing on the situation. She may have internal scarring, adhesions, etc which may benefit from hysteroscopic approach, followed by estrogen treatment (much as we do with Asherman's syndrome). I would evaluate the cervical canal closely, with HSG and/or hysteroscopy, then proceed to treat based on the findings (if any). BTW, this is another example that cones have a potential for significant harm, and perhaps it is best to leave the "lesser" lesions alone (if subject to close colposcopic scrutiny). Have I not sen somewhere that majority of CIN I regresses spontaneously?? Perhaps we are too aggressive (myself included).

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
