Cone Biopsy

A cone biopsy is a medical procedure used to remove a small, cone-shaped section of tissue from the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus. It is typically performed to diagnose or treat abnormal or precancerous cells detected on the cervix. The procedure helps doctors determine if these cells are cancerous or likely to develop into cancer, and it removes affected tissue to prevent progression. It is usually done in an outpatient setting under local or general anesthesia, and most women recover quickly. The procedure provides valuable information and can be a vital step in preventing cervical cancer.
