Cold Knife Conization

Under anesthesia, a scalpel is used to excise a cone-shaped area of cervical lesion, usually in conjunction with colposcopy or appropriate exposure; if applicable, endocervical samples can be taken simultaneously and the specimen directionally marked, sent for pathological evaluation of the margins. Intraoperative hemostasis is achieved through suturing or electrocoagulation with continuous monitoring. Postoperative care focuses on bleeding and signs of infection, with the goal of complete lesion excision and obtaining accurate pathology to guide follow-up or subsequent management. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
