Conisation in Nicosia
In instances of severe malformations or precursors to cervical cancer, surgical excision of the affected area becomes necessary. The method of choice for this purpose is pineal resection, and the utilization of lasers represents the most advanced and contemporary approach.
What exactly is a Laser Ablation?
- A gentle procedure to remove a cone-shaped piece of tissue (Conus) from the cervix.
- Performed using an exact laser beam that selectively vaporizes the affected tissue.
- This is followed by further examination of the tissue and pathological certification that it was removed within healthy limits..
Indications for Laser Conisation
- Histologically confirmed CIN III malformation
- Histologically confirmed CIN II dysplasia persisting for more than 24 months.
- Unclear findings require further investigation.
Advantages of Laser Conisation
- Gentler than conventional conization with loop excision.
- Lower risk of bleeding.
- Faster wound healing and shorter recovery time.
