Treatment of cervical pathology
Cervical Pathology: Diagnosis and Treatment at IPF
Cervical pathology is a collective term for a wide range of conditions and diseases affecting the cervix, commonly diagnosed across all age groups. These include:
- Cervical erosion
- Cervical ectropion
- Cervical endometriosis
- Cervical leukoplakia
- Cervical dysplasia
- Cervical polyps
Although many of these conditions are benign, if left untreated they can lead to serious complications, including the development of cervical cancer—one of the most common malignancies of the female reproductive system. That’s why timely diagnosis and effective treatment are critical.
Modern Diagnostic Methods
At IPF, we use a comprehensive approach to assess and manage cervical pathologies, including:
- Standard gynecological examination with speculum inspection
- Advanced video and photo colposcopy
- Cytology screening (Pap smear)
- Cervical biopsy
- PCR testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Hormonal and immune status evaluation
Treatment Options
There are several established methods for treating benign cervical conditions, including:
- Electrocoagulation (diathermocoagulation)
- Laser therapy
- Cryodestruction
- Radio wave surgery
However, each of these techniques comes with its own limitations.
Electrocoagulation, for example, may cause scarring and complications during future childbirth, post-procedure pain, and bleeding when tissue sloughs off. It often requires general anesthesia.
Cryotherapy has a relatively high rate of recurrence and doesn’t allow for histological evaluation to confirm diagnosis.
Why We Recommend Radio Wave Surgery
Radio wave surgery is a modern, minimally invasive treatment that avoids many of the drawbacks of older methods. It uses high-frequency radio waves to cut and coagulate tissue without damaging surrounding structures. The technique allows for:
- Bloodless cervical biopsies
- Outpatient conization (removal of a cone-shaped tissue sample from the cervix)
- Precise treatment of cervical deformations
This method combines the benefits of high-energy laser procedures with a more affordable cost and significantly lower risk. It’s gentle, precise, and highly effective—making it the preferred choice for many gynecological procedures today.
Main Indications for Radio Wave Surgery in Gynecology:
- Cervical erosion
- Cervical ectopia
- Postpartum cervical scarring and deformation
- Cervical hypertrophy
- Cervical endometriosis
- Leukoplakia
- Chronic cervicitis
- Cervical dysplasia (grades 1–2)
- Vulvar, vaginal, and perineal condylomas
- Vaginal cysts
- Vulvar and vaginal papillomas
- Cervical canal polyps
- Genital nevi removal
- Cervical conization for dysplasia
Why Choose Surgitron Radio Wave Surgery?
Previously, many of these procedures were invasive and required hospitalization for 7–10 days. Today, using Surgitron, they are performed on an outpatient basis with minimal discomfort and downtime. The high-frequency radio waves generate focused thermal energy that cuts or coagulates tissue without actual contact. Unlike traditional surgical tools, the electrode remains cold, reducing the risk of burns, scarring, and pain.
Key Benefits of Surgitron Treatment:
- Quick and nearly painless
- High precision targeting of abnormal tissues
- Minimal impact on surrounding healthy areas
- No bleeding or deep burns
- Minimal to no scarring
- Suitable for women who have not given birth
- Accelerated recovery and return to normal activities
- Excellent cosmetic and therapeutic outcomes
Common Procedures Performed with Surgitron:
- Treatment of cervical erosion and ectopia
- Ablation of leukoplakia and erythroplakia
- Coagulation of endometriosis lesions
- Treatment of cervical dysplasia
- Cervical biopsies and conization
- Removal of polyps, condylomas, papillomas, and pyogenic granulomas
- Management of genital nevi and senile lipomas
Preparation and Recovery
When to Schedule:
Radio wave surgery of the cervix is ideally performed between days 5 and 11 of the menstrual cycle.
Anesthesia Options:
Most procedures are done under local anesthesia. Larger procedures may require intravenous sedation.
Post-Procedure:
Patients typically leave the clinic a few hours after treatment and can resume their usual routine. For more extensive interventions, a 24-hour observation may be recommended.
Temporary Restrictions:
Sexual activity should be avoided for 2 to 4 weeks post-surgery to allow full healing.
Required Preoperative Tests:
- Blood tests for HIV, Hepatitis B and C
- Vaginal swab for flora and cytology
- Pelvic ultrasound
