Abstract:
Colposcopy is a widely used diagnostic procedure, primarily in the assessment of women with abnormal cervical cytology. It is used by appropriately trained individuals using techniques that allow a full assessment of the abnormality and plan for further investigation or treatment. Certain key features are specifically looked for, and a colposcopic impression formed. Using a systematic approach to the colposcopic assessment can improve the diagnostic accuracy. In this chapter, we review various factors and meta-analyses in relation to the diagnostic performance of colposcopy. Newer technologies are being developed that will assist the clinician in assessing the colposcopic changes. Quality assurance of the training and practise of colposcopy is important to maintain appropriate management for women with cytological abnormalities.
