BACKGROUND: High-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) is a disease that is closely related to the development of cervical cancer. In clinical work, cold knife conization and a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) are often selected for diagnosis and treatment.
OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we aimed to discuss additional cuts, a common practice in cervical conization, and determine whether the doctor's choice to use additional cuts in conization can reduce the occurrence of a positive cone margin.
METHODS: From January 2018 to October 2019, 965 patients underwent cervical conization at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University (Dalian, China). Of these, 174 were in the positive cone margin group, and 791 were in the negative cone margin group. Age, preoperative pathology, pathological results of conization, additional cuts, cone depth, and cone volume were studied. Additionally, the additional cut rate and the efficiency of doctors with a habit of additional cuts were analyzed.
RESULTS: Of the 965 patients included in the study, the median age was 41 years (range 35-50). Multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested that additional cuts (OR, 2.480; 95% CI 1.608 to 3.826; p = 0.01) and smaller cone depth (OR, 0.591; 95% CI, 0.362 to 0.965, p = 0.036) were independent risk factors for positive margins. Six of the 64 doctors who performed conizations had a habit of making additional cuts, and there was no positive correlation between their additional cut rate and their effective additional cut rate.
CONCLUSION: This study showed that a certain proportion of additional cuts can be effectively excised from the positive margin that cannot be removed in the initial conization. The practice of additional cuts in conization tends to be the personal habit of a small number of doctors.
