Summary

Semm cold coagulation effectively destroys exocervical tissue and glandular crypts. This gynecological procedure at 120°C for 30 seconds achieves a tissue destruction depth of at least 4 mm.

  • Understanding treatment depth is crucial for efficacy.
  • Cold coagulation is a potential therapeutic modality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate Semm cold coagulation for exocervical treatment.
  • To determine the depth of tissue necrosis.
  • To assess the destruction of glandular crypts.

Main Methods:

  • Semm cold coagulation applied to the exocervix.
  • Performed on 20 patients.
  • Temperature: 120 degrees C; Duration: 30 seconds.

Main Results:
