This case report describes a patient with an invisible, stenotic cervix requiring general anesthesia and surgical intervention to access the endocervical canal for future gynecological procedures.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Conization of the uterine cervix is a common gynecological procedure that sometimes causes cervical stenosis which creates difficulties for future gynecological procedures. MATERIAL: We present a very unusual case where strenuous effort was needed to obtain safe access to the endocervical canal and endometrial cavity. METHOD: A single case report. CONCLUSION: In patients with stenotic invisible cervical os and no palpable cervix, it may be necessary to examine the patient under general anesthesia because surgical intervention may be necessary to access the cervical canal.
