[Conisation during pregnancy (author's transl)]. 1978

E Kofler, and K Philipp

The paper reviews 15 cases undergoing conisation during pregnancy. In 2 conisation was immediately followed by radical operation for invasive squamous carcinoma. 11 patients had pre-invasive carcinoma by microscopic evidence on serial step sections, while the remaining 2 showed high-grade dysplasia of the cervix. Atypical tissue was successfully removed in toto in 6 of the 8 cases with lesions predominantly localizing at the cervical surface. Of the 5 abnormal epithelial processes which were almost entirely endocervical only 1 was completely removed. Abortion occurred in 4 of the 13 patients undergoing conisation without prophylactic cerclage. Shirodkar's operation was done at the time of conisation in 7 cases, in one after an interval of 10 weeks. This prophylactic measure failed to prevent prematurity in 2 cases, while the remaining 6 gave birth to living and mature infants between the 37th and the 40th week of gestation.

D002581 Uterine Cervical Incompetence Incompetent UTERINE CERVIX is usually diagnosed in the second trimester of PREGNANCY. It is characterized by passive painless cervical dilation in the absence of UTERINE CONTRACTION; BLEEDING; INFECTION; and sometimes with the amniotic sac (AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE) bulging through the partially dilated cervix. Left untreated, this condition may lead to premature pregnancy loss, such as HABITUAL ABORTION.
