Abstract

Highlights: Cervical Cancer patient experienced a Cervical stenosis after conization. Cervical stenosis is one of the most frequent complication of conization. The use of a silicon urethral catheter into the cervical canal is a resolutive option. Abstract: Introduction: Cervical stenosis can represent a hard complication to treat after conization for microinvasive cervical cancer. Presentation of case: A young woman with cervical stenosis post-trachelectomy for a microinvasive cervical cancer came to our Department. We introduced a silicone catheter of 18 French in cervical canal. The catheter was removed after 20 days. The procedure was resolutive. Discussion: Cervical stenosis is one of the most frequent complication of conization. Among the different described techniques proposed in literature, we would here report the successful use of a silicon urethral catheter into the cervical canal. Conclusion: This method can be an easy and cheap procedure to take in consideration.
