Radio wave cervical conization is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at removing pathologically altered cervical tissue using radio wave energy. This technique is characterized by high precision, minimal tissue trauma, and rapid recovery.
When is the procedure indicated?
Radiofrequency conization is indicated in cases of cervical dysplasia, detection of precancerous changes, cervical erosion, leukoplakia, and cervical polyps. It may also be recommended for chronic inflammatory conditions resistant to conservative therapy, as well as when atypical cells are detected during cytological examination (Pap test, biopsy).
How is the procedure performed?
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. The physician uses a specialized radiofrequency electrode that vaporizes abnormal tissue without direct contact with surrounding healthy areas. Radio waves provide immediate coagulation of blood vessels, significantly reducing the risk of bleeding. The procedure typically lasts 10–20 minutes.
Main advantages of the method
High precision and effectiveness in removing pathological tissue. Minimal invasiveness, absence of scarring and adhesions, and rapid tissue healing. The procedure is associated with minimal postoperative pain and a short rehabilitation period.
Recovery after conization
Complete tissue healing usually occurs within 4–6 weeks. During this period, it is important to follow medical recommendations: avoid physical exertion, abstain from sexual activity, and refrain from using tampons or vaginal medications unless prescribed by a physician.
