To cut or not to cut – that is the question: a comparative analysis of long-term follow-up after complete and incomplete electroconization of the cervix due to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion

Close follow-up instead of inconsiderate repeat procedures should be taken under consideration among patients of reproductive age after incomplete conization of the cervix. HPV typing may be an essential method to predict recurrent cervical dysplasia. Promoting HPV typing and vaccination can reduce the number of invasive procedures and improve quality of life and obstetrics outcomes.
