1. What is an electrocautery cone?


Electromechanical cone amputation is a conical amputation of the cervix to obtain the transition zone. This is both a diagnostic method and a treatment method.
Uterine cone resection with electric ring is performed when the patient has stopped menstruating for about 1 week and avoids close to the date of menstruation (Menstruation affects the cones of the uterus). The procedure only takes a few minutes.
During the procedure, the patient will feel a slight sting, followed by a dull pain or contraction. The coil will be inserted into the cervix through the vagina. IUDs come in many sizes and shapes, and the type you choose will depend on your cervix and the size of the lesion to be cut.
Once the hysterectomy is complete, a paste will be applied to the cervix to stop bleeding. The removed tissue will be used for research to confirm the diagnosis.
