Conoid excision, also known as LLETZ (Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone), is a modern and effective method for the diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions of the cervix. In our practice, we specialize in this technique, offering safe and precise treatments to our patients.
What is Cone Resection (LLETZ)?
Coneectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a thin electrosurgical loop to remove a portion of the cervix. This section includes the area where precancerous lesions often occur. The procedure is effective in diagnosing and removing abnormal cells before they develop into cancer.
When Is Cone Resection Used?
LLETZ is usually recommended for women who have: – Results of pathological cytological examinations (e.g. Pap test) showing cells with high-grade lesions. – Colposcopy results confirming the presence of precancerous lesions. – Diagnosis of high-grade cervical dysplasia (CIN2 or 3).
Cone Excision Procedure (LLETZ)
The operation is usually performed on an outpatient basis and includes the following steps:
- Local Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is given to numb the cervical area.
- Introduction of the Loop: The surgeon inserts the electrosurgical loop and removes the abnormal part of the cervix.
- Web removal: The removed part is sent for pathological examination.
- Healing: The cervical area heals naturally within a few weeks.
Advantages of Coneectomy (LLETZ)
– Minimally Invasive: Short recovery time and less pain compared to other methods.
– Accurate Diagnosis: Allows accurate diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions.
– Immediate Treatment: The operation combines diagnosis and treatment in one visit.
– Safety: LLETZ is safe and has a low risk of complications.
Advice after surgery
– Avoiding Sexual Activity: Avoid sexual activity for 4-6 weeks to facilitate healing.
– Good Hygiene: Keep the area clean and avoid tampons for a few weeks.
– Monitoring: Follow your doctor's instructions and schedule the necessary follow-up tests.
