Abstract

Colposcopic, cytological and histological (endo-cervical curettage) evaluation of the remaining cervical stump was done 3 years after 99 supravaginal uterine amputations performed for benign condition. Peroperative elec-trocoagulation of the endocervical mucosa had been done in all the patients and postoperative ectocervical electrocoagu-lation in 39 (39.4%) cases. No active inflammatory, premalignant or malignant changes were detected at the 3-year examination of the cervix. Furthermore, normal adenomatous epithelium had been wholly or partly relaced by squamous epithelium in 89% of the cases.
