Cervical conization refers to an excision of a cone-shaped portion of tissue from the mucous membrane of the cervix. Conization is used for diagnostic purposes as part of a biopsy and for therapeutic purposes to remove pre-cancerous cells ( cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ) or early stage cervical cancer .
Endocervical curettage is a medical procedure used to extract cells of the endocervix to visualize under a microscope. Direct cervical visualization, colposcopy, and even endocervical colposcopy are not enough to fully analyze all areas of the endocervical epithelium and thus endocervical curettage is the method of choice in cases where this is necessary.
It has been in use since the 1970s, after its invention by Dr. Sheldon Weinstein. [2] LEEP has many advantages including low cost and a high success rate. [3] The procedure can be done in an office setting and usually only requires a local anesthetic, though sometimes IV sedation or a general anesthetic is used. [4]
Stereotactic surgery is a minimally invasive form of surgical intervention that makes use of a three-dimensional coordinate system to locate small targets inside the body and to perform on them some action such as ablation, biopsy, lesion, injection, stimulation, implantation, radiosurgery (SRS), etc.

In this sense, "recovery" can be considered a synonymous term. This also sometimes includes patient care after a major surgery, [2] [3] under which they are required to visit the doctor for regular check-ups.

Chromopertubation is a method for the study of fallopian tube patency (a state of being open or unobstructed) for suspected infertility in women caused by fallopian tube obstruction. Occlusion or pathology of the fallopian tubes is the most common cause of suspected infertility. [ 1 ]
This study suggests for women with cervical insufficiency due to prior cone biopsy, cerclage is not superior to no intervention. [9] As cerclage can induce preterm contractions without preventing premature delivery, [10] makes the recommendation that it be used sparingly in women with a history of conization.
