Abstract

From January 1985 to October 1992, 158 conizations of the cervix were performed for squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) of the cervix. Thirty-one (20.4%) of these cases had disease extending to the margins of resection. The majority (60.7%) had spontaneous resolution of disease. Conservative follow-up aided by the body's own immune system may allow an even greater percentage to resolve spontaneously. Smoking presents an added factor for persistent as well as recurrent disease.
