[Clinical problems of diagnostic conisation (author's transl)]

Reported in this paper are diagnostic and therapeutic results obtained from 424 cases of diagnostic conisation. The incidence of postoperative bleeding was as low as 2.1 per cent, provided skilled use of the technique and suturing without infiltration. Diagnostic statement "no reliable removal of carcinoma in situ from intact tissue" should be widely avoided and forestalled by careful surgical approach to diagnostic conisation.
