Loop conization of the cervix
Loop conization, also known as a cone biopsy, is a special cervical surgery that can be used for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. During the procedure, a persistent cervical wound that does not heal with conservative treatment and causes inflammatory vaginal complaints is repaired for therapeutic purposes. High-risk HPV infection or abnormal cytological results may also indicate surgery, in which case the procedure also serves diagnostic purposes. In this case, the affected area of the cervix is removed and sent for histological examination to accurately determine the condition of the cells. The histological result determines whether further treatment is necessary or whether surgery alone is sufficient to solve the problem.
