Results of Conization by Radiosurgery in Patients Treated In a Cervical Pathology Clinic

Abstract

Introduction: Radiosurgery aims to provide a diagnostic and treatment tool.
Objectives: To describe the results of conization by radiosurgery in patients treated in the cervical pathology clinic of the institution.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional investigation was carried out at Mártires del 9 de abril General Teaching Hospital, in Sagua la Grande, Villa Clara, Cuba. The study population consisted of 256 patients attended in the cervical pathology clinic who underwent conization by radiosurgery, from January 2013 to December 2015. For the collection of the information, the document review was used and a data collection form was made.
Results: The preoperative diagnosis that contributed the greatest number of cases was IAS III (severe dysplasia) (78 cases; 30.5%). Conclusions: The premalignant lesions in the present study began to appear with a marked incidence from the age of 20 and up to 49, with the group of 30-39 years standing out. The increase in the number of sexual partners, as well as the early sexual intercourse increase the risk of suffering intraepithelial lesions in the cervix. After five years of beginning sexual intercourse, cervical intraepithelial lesions begin to appear, the preoperative diagnosis that contributed the greatest number of cases was IAS III (severe dysplasia). In histological diagnoses by punch and cone correspondence existed in all cases.
