[Haemostatic circling suture during conisation of the uterine cervix (author's transl)]

The insertion of a cervical circling suture before conisation, with tightening around an endo-uterine sound after excision of the specimen, ensures effective haemostasis of the cervical remnant. In addition, this circling suture may be used to apply the necessary traction to the cervix away from the pathological zone, without causing any lesion of the epithelium to be studied.
