The prevalence and clinical relevance of cervical abnormalities after an amputation of the cervix as part of prolapse surgery: a cross-sectional study
This study found a prevalence of 0.7% for CIN II+ incidental findings in women undergoing amputation of the cervix as part of POP surgery. No additional treatments were required after the final histopathological results. The decision to omit routine histopathological examination could potentially be safe, offering the prospect of reduced healthcare costs and environmental impact. Healthcare professionals should individually assess the risks and benefits of omitting and/or replacing routine histopathological examination.
