instrument with a built-in light source to look at the cervix through a speculum

Answer 16

Colposcopy

Question 17

Purpose of Colposcopy

1
2

Answer 17

(1) visually identify where the abnormal Pap smear cells originated, and
(2) biopsy that area to send for histologic diagnosis.

Question 18

Areas for biopsy in colposcopy

Answer 18

punctation, mosaicism, white

epithelium, and abnormal vessels.

Question 19

_______is a minor outpatient surgical procedure performed in the operating room under either local or general anesthesia.

It is a diagnostic test that examines the histology of cervical lesions

Answer 19

Cold Knife Cone Biopsy

Question 20

Cold knife biopsy

• _______ is performed if the Pap smear shows changes more severe than the
colposcopically directed biopsy.

• ______ is performed if a lesion extends from the exocervix into the endocervical
canal

Answer 20

Wide-shallow cone

Narrow-deep cone

Question 21

_____ is a minor outpatient surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia.

It is a diagnostic test that examines the histology of cervical lesions.

Advantages are low cost, high success
rate, and ease of use.

Answer 21

LEEP

Question 22

LEEP technique

Answer 22

This technique is used for diagnosing and treating cervical dysplasia.

An electric current is passed through a thin wire loop to remove abnormal cervical tissues.

The heated loop seals off blood vessels as it cuts

Question 23

Long-term risks of LEEP include _____ and _____

Answer 23

cervical stenosis and cervical insufficiency.

Question 24

____ is a minor outpatient procedure performed without anesthesia.

It destroys dysplastic cervical tissue identified by colposcopy and cervical biopsy

Answer 24

Cryotherapy

Question 25

Long-term risks of cryotherapy include cervical______

Answer 25

stenosis.

Question 26

______ removal of the uterus, is a major inpatient surgical procedure performed under either regional or general anesthesia. It is used for both diagnosis and therapy.

Answer 26

Hysterectomy,

Question 27

______performed for early-stage cervical carcinoma, involves removal
of the uterus, cervix, and surrounding tissues, including cardinal ligaments, uterosacral
ligaments, and the upper vagina.

Answer 27

Radical hysterectomy

Question 28

A fiberoptic scope is placed through a previously dilated cervix to directly visualize the endometrial cavity.

A clear fluid is infused through side ports of the scope to distend the uterine cavity, allowing visualization

Answer 28

Hysteroscopy

Question 29

The pelvic-abdominal cavity is insufflated with pressured carbon dioxide to distend
the abdomen and lift the abdominal wall away from the viscera.

Through a port that is placed through the umbilicus, a fiberoptic scope is then inserted to visually examine the pelvis and abdomen

Answer 29

Laparoscopy

Question 30

Common gynecologic indications for laparoscopy include
1
2
3

Answer 30

diagnosing and treating causes of chronic pelvic pain (e.g., endometriosis or adhesions), resecting advanced ectopic pregnancies, and diagnosing and lysing tubal adhesions in infertility cases
