Abstract
The usefulness of conization for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), particularly CIN III, is widely acknowledged. Conization can be performed as therapy when diagnostic colposcopy is reliable and the transformation zone clearly visible. In such cases the height of the cone is short. When colposcopy findings are less dependable, due to the transformation zone being deep in the endocervix, conization is used as a diagnostic technique and the cone is longer (Fig. 1).
