Reevaluation of the usefulness of routine uterine curettage with every cervical cone biopsy.Retrospective analysis of 250 cervical cone biopsies over an 18 year period.240 analysable cases were included. 90 patients had undergone cone biopsy only and 150 cone biopsy accompanied by uterine curettage. Curettage material was histologically normal 115 times (76.6%), negative or invalid 26 times (17.3%) and pathological 10 times (6.6%). Pathology consisted of 7 cases of hyperplasia and 3 of endometritis.Routine uterine curettage whenever cone biopsy is performed is of no value other than in certain special circumstances concerning clinical status and ultrasound findings.
