A cervical cone biopsy is surgery to remove tissue from the cervix. The cervix is the small round opening at the bottom of the uterus (womb). The cervix connects the uterus to the top of the vagina (birth canal). You may need a cervical biopsy if cells that are not normal are found during a Pap test. But, a cone biopsy may also be used to treat early cancer and other problems. Sometimes instead of surgery to remove your uterus, cone biopsy can be done so you can still have babies. Following are some of the reasons you may need this surgery. Cervical dysplasia, which is disease of the tissue of the cervix, Dysplasia involving the cervical canal, Abnormal Pap smear, which is not explained by office biopsies, Adenocarcinoma in situ. A biopsy that needs only a small amount of tissue may be done in the doctor’s office. Since your caregiver needs to remove a larger, cone-shaped biopsy specimen (conization), you will need to go to the hospital. The procedure will be done in day surgery, and you will go home the same day of the surgery.
