Uterus and Cervix Surgeries

Uterus and Cervix Surgeries

There are various uterine and cervical surgeries, one of which is the plastic surgery of the vaginal portion of the cervix, typically performed to correct old adhesions left after childbirth or vaginal interventions. A small incision is made along the mucosal margin of the cervical canal. Then, sutures are applied in such a way that the first row of stitches forms the cervical canal and frees the cervix from the side of the vagina.

In the case of cervical polyps removal, the anterior lip of the cervix is held in place. The cervical polyp is grasped with forceps and twisted around to be removed. This method results in less bleeding. Additionally, a cervical canal curettage may be performed to complete the procedure.

Cervical dysplasia refers to the abnormal growth of cells on the cervix, and it is considered a precursor to cancer. Cervical dysplasia is commonly associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and is most often detected through routine Pap smear tests.

Dysplasia is categorized into mild, moderate, and severe degrees:
Mild dysplasia (CIN 1): Exhibits slight abnormalities in cells, and often resolves on its own without treatment.

Moderate dysplasia (CIN 2): Contains more noticeable cellular abnormalities and may require treatment.

Severe dysplasia (CIN 3): Previously referred to as carcinoma in situ, it involves serious cellular abnormalities that have a high risk of progressing into cervical cancer.

Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the dysplasia and typically involve the removal of abnormal cells. Preventive measures include regular screening, the HPV vaccine, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Treatment options for cervical dysplasia vary depending on the severity of the condition. Mild dysplasia (CIN 1) often resolves on its own, so doctors may prefer to monitor the condition by repeating tests after a few months.

Cryotherapy (freezing treatment) is used to freeze and destroy abnormal cells using liquid nitrogen. This method is typically suitable for mild to moderate dysplasia (CIN 1-2). Alternatively, cauterization procedures can also be used.

In the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP), abnormal cells are cut and removed using a small wire loop carrying an electric current. This is an effective treatment for both moderate and severe dysplasia (CIN 2 and CIN 3).

Conization (cone biopsy) involves removing a cone-shaped piece of tissue from the cervix. It can be used both for diagnosis and treatment, and it is typically preferred for more severe cases of dysplasia (CIN 2 and CIN 3).

The HPV vaccine is an important preventive method for protecting against the HPV types that cause cervical cancer. The vaccine is most effective in individuals who have not been infected with HPV yet, but in some cases, it may also be recommended for those who have already been infected or for patients with dysplasia.

The treatment plan is personalized and depends on various factors, including the woman's age, overall health, plans for having children, and the severity of the dysplasia.
