Study of colposcopic and histopathological correlation for cervical lesion at tertiary care: An original research
Keywords:
Cervical Lesions, histopathology for identification, Colposcopy correlatedAbstract
Introduction–Colposcopy is the diagnostic method for cervical cancer. It involves visualization and examination of cervix, vagina and vulva with the aid of a colposcope. Similar to pap smear, colposcopy is also a non-invasive method but is expensive and thus it is used as typically to assess the presence, location, size, extent, as well as type of pre-cancer or cancer. Also, it is helpful in guiding the appropriate site for taking the biopsy for histopathological examination.Objective- To study the colposcopic findings of cervical lesions in patients and to differentiate between benign and malignant cervical lesions. Also, correlating the colposcopic findings with histopathological findings. Material and methods- The present study entitled “Study of Colposcopic and Histopathological Correlation for Cervical Lesions at Tertiary Care Centre” was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology on a total of 250 females. Data was compiled and correlation between the findings of colposcopy and histopathology was done. Level of agreement between colposcopic and histopathologic findings was calculated using kappa statistics. P value <0.05 was considered significant.
