Cervical Biopsy - OB/GYN Physicians | Brooklyn Heights, NYC
The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that forms a canal that opens into the vagina and leads to outside the body. The tissue that's removed is then closely examined under a microscope.
A cervical biopsy is normally performed during a colposcopy procedure or Pap Smear biopsy procedure.
A cervical biopsy is a procedure that is performed to remove tissue from the cervix to test for abnormal cells or precancerous conditions.
The amount of tissue your doctor removes is dependent on the type of GYN biopsy being done. A simple cervical biopsy procedure, also known as a punch biopsy, removes a small piece of tissue from the surface of the cervix, where as an endocervical biopsy (endocervical curettage) removes tissue from high in the cervical canal and requires scraping with a sharp instrument.
Another possible GYN biopsy is a cervix cone biopsy or conization where your doctor will use a laser or scalpel to remove a large cone shaped piece of tissue from the cervix.
Lastly, there is the Loop Electrosurgical Excision procedure (LEEP) that uses a thin, low-voltage electrified wire loop to cut out any abnormal tissue found. In addition to removing tissue for testing, some of these procedures can be used to completely remove areas of abnormal tissue and may also be used in the treatment of precancerous lesions.
If you're undergoing a cervix biopsy procedure that requires a general anesthetic, you'll need to stop eating at least eight hours before the procedure.
