Where Can I Get Information On A Leep Conization Procedure?
Health Encyclopedia: Cold Knife Cone Biopsy
Definition
A cold knife cone biopsy is a procedure to obtain a sample of abnormal tissue from the cervix for further examination. This procedure obtains a larger sample than that obtained by cervical punch biopsy or colposcopy-directed biopsy. An alternative procedure known as LEEP (loop electrocautery excisional procedure) uses electric current instead of a knife to remove the cervical tissue.
Alternative Names
Cone biopsy; Biopsy - cone; Cervical conization
