The electroconization with diathermic loop is a good procedure in the cervical dysplasia because there is a respect of the cervical tissue with a low cost, low complications, easy and quickly technic and a precise histological analysis of the histologic specimen. The indications are represented by high grade lesions, cyto-histologic discordance and endocervical squamo-columnar junction with a low grade lesion. The authors proposed a retrospective study about 307 cases of the electroconization with diathermic loop realised between January 1993 and June 1998.
