Abstract:
The colposcopy unit is the ideal setting for the triage of patients with lower genital tract disorders, particularly those who have been identified through screening tests to be at potential risk for developing cancer. This article has reviewed the colposcopic method, related instrumentation, and internationally approved colposcopic terminology. This will serve as a basis for the more detailed discussion of colposcopic diagnosis in the articles that follow.
