Abstract

Dimensions of cone - length, thickness and circumference - have to be presented according recommendations of International Federation for Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy from the year 2011. In a clinical series of 27 conizations due to carcinoma in situ the size of cone, fragmentation of the specimen, thermic artefacts, inflammatory changes and range to margins were evaluated.

Requirements for adequate performing of the procedure are discussed. The size of cone is always individual and has to be directed according the type of transformation zone, size of lesion, size and shape of the cervix, histological type of lesion and possible reproductive plans.
