mini-electroconization Explanation: The asked term seems to be a combination of 'electroconization' and 'miniconization', both of which are very much used in the context. Therefore, I would retain the term in English, though there are no googles for it. CONCLUSION: In nonpregnant women in whom the endocervical limit of a lesion cannot be visualized with a colposcope, fine-needle electroconization is an attractive alternative to loop electroexcision. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8008313 Conization can be performed with a scalpel (cold-knife conization), laser, or electrosurgical loop. The latter is called the loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) or large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ). http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/270156-overview Mass cytologic screening for cervical cancer often reveals only mild dysplasia not indicating conization...Therefore a new method, called miniconization, for treatment of patients with vaginal smears showing mild or moderate dysplasia (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia /CIN/ I–II), was developed.... The advantage of the method over cryosurgery, electrocoagulation, and laser vaporization, for example, is that the tissue specimen as a whole disc including the transformation zone can be sectioned and examined histologically. Another advantage is the decreased risk of postoperative bleeding, which enables ambulant care. http://shortify.com/10112 The outpatient miniconization procedure, performed with a free-hand guided 60-W high power density CO2 laser is a reliable method for simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of CIN. Because of the paucity of complications, this procedure may also be appropriate during pregnancy. http://shortify.com/10113 ...''mini-conization'', which the authors describe as a cone of only 5–7 mm depth w4x. http://shortify.com/10114 |
