Preventing Cervical Cancer with Conization Surgery
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early through screening and timely intervention. One of the most critical steps in prevention is conization surgery, performed when abnormal cellular changes (dysplasia/CIN) are detected. Conization involves removing a cone-shaped piece of tissue from the transformation zone of the cervix, effectively eliminating precancerous lesions.

A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the uterus. It is a significant medical decision often considered due to persistent pain, heavy bleeding, or the risk of cancer. There are various surgical methods for performing a hysterectomy, with one of the most traditional being the abdominal (open) hysterectomy. In this approach, the uterus is removed through an incision made in the lower abdomen.
Why Is Vaginal Hysterectomy Preferred?
Vaginal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the complete removal of the uterus through the vagina, eliminating the need for an abdominal incision. During this procedure, incisions are made at both the upper and lower parts of the cervix, and the ligaments and blood vessels that support the uterus are carefully detached. Once the uterus is removed, the surrounding tissue is properly closed.
