Laser Conization of the Uterine Cervix

The optimum treatment for intraepitheial cervical cancer (carcinoma in situ, CIS) has been the subject of much controversy. For many years hysterectomy was the recommended therapy because a rather high incidence of recurrence of carcinoma was reported after conservative treatments such as conization or destruction of the uterine cervix.1–3 Recently, focused CO2 laser conization, which excises selected cervical tissue, enabled us to evaluate the histologic findings of the resected cone.4,5 But we found that this method also has some serious deficiencies.
