Abstract
The Hamou microcolpohysteroscope (MCH) was used to measure the distance from the squamocolumnar junction within the endocervical canal to the ectocervix. Cone biopsies were subsequently tailored to these measurements. In all 63 cone biopsies controlled and tailored in this way, when the squamocolumnar junction was within the endocervical canal, there was complete excision of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia at the apex of the cone. This contrasts with the 87 uncontrolled cone biopsies, 9 of which had incomplete excision at the apex of the cone.Keywords
