A cone biopsy of the cervix is a removal of a cone-shaped wedge of tissue the cervix used for diagnostic purposes.
It’s also used to treat and remove any abnormal tissue that is high in the cervical canal. A small amount of normal tissue around the cone-shaped wedge of abnormal tissue is also removed so that a margin free of abnormal cells is left in the cervix.
This includes:
- Consultation
- Colposcopy
- Treatment of precancerous cells
