conization

Small surgical intervention which consists of removing a cone-shaped sample of the cervix, similar to when you remove the stem from a tomato. Conization is carried out if there is a precancerous lesion of the cervix. This intervention is performed through the vagina and doesn’t leave a scar. There is a slight increased risk of premature birth thereafter.
