Step-by-step laparoscopic excision of cervical stump for persistent CIN and bleeding in a without a dash patient without uterine manipulator

A 51-year-old woman presented with two years of postmenopausal spotting, mainly postcoital. Although vaginal atrophy was considered, prior use of vaginal estrogen at another center had not improved her symptoms. She had a history of persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 infection and abnormal cytology. Initial colposcopy showed CIN 1 but one year later, a biopsy revealed CIN 2, and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) was performed with negative margins. At 6-month follow-up, HPV positivity and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion persisted, with CIN 2 on colposcopy. Despite being offered repeat LEEP, the patient opted for definitive surgery. Due to a family history of ovarian cancer, she also requested bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. This case highlights an individualized approach to recurrent cervical dysplasia and postmenopausal bleeding. Despite long-term follow-up, cervical dysplasia persisted, necessitating surgical intervention. The procedure was completed laparoscopically without complications. Cervical stump excision is a rare but important option in patients experiencing persistent symptoms or premalignant lesions after subtotal hysterectomy (SH). This case highlights careful patient selection and thorough counseling regarding potential long-term risks, including bleeding, dysplasia, and cervical malignancy, following SH.
