Abstract

Integration of colposcopy and microcolposcopy allows to perform a complete study of eso- endo-cervix, for a diagnostic and topographic evaluation of cervical intraepithelial lesion. We have endoscopically studied 172 patients with histologically demonstrated CIN. In 218 cases (74.4%) the microcolposcopical evaluation corresponded to the histological diagnosis. These data confirm the methodological effectiveness of microcolposcopy and recommend it as helpful mean for cervical pathology investigation. However we believe that histological evaluation is necessary for a correct staging of the lesion. According to our experience indications for microcolposcopy are: 1) identification of endocervical lesion and squamo-columnar junction, when colposcopically not evident; 2) possibility of performing a "tailored" conization; 3) study of endocervix after conization.
