About Cervical Excision

Cervical excision, performed by a general surgeon, is a surgical procedure to remove abnormal or diseased tissue from the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. It is commonly used as both a diagnostic and therapeutic intervention for pre-cancerous conditions like cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The surgeon removes a cone-shaped piece of tissue, which is then sent to a lab for analysis. This procedure helps prevent the progression to cervical cancer and can also be used to treat certain benign cervical lesions. It is typically performed under anesthesia and is considered a safe and effective way to manage cervical abnormalities.
