'Erosion' of the uterine cervix; an anachronism.

The conclusion arrived at after a review of the relevant literature, coupled with current knowledge of the morphophysiological changes which take place in the transformation zone of the cervix, is that the term cervical erosion is an anachronism. The term should therefore be abandoned. More appropriate terms for the clinical appearance of the cervix are ectropion or ectopy. The metaplastic process and its role in neoplasia is also discussed.

[Erosion of the uterine cervix in women with primary infertility treated with CO2 laser].

The authors described the results of treatment of erosions of the uterine cervix in 78 women with primary sterility with CO2-laser vaporisation in Department of Reproduction, Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Academy of Medicine, Poznań. The results were estimated through clinical, cytological and colposcopical examinations in the term of 6 weeks and 3 months after therapy. The Insler's cervical mucus test was done in all women after 3 months. In all women the healing was achieved and five of them were needed for second laser therapy because of superficial endometriosis. The authors think that CO2-laser vaporisation (under colposcopical control) of erosions of the uterine cervix in women with primary sterility is the reliable method. The wound's healing after laser therapy is quick and without any complications. Laser therapy causes no trauma of the cervix structure and does not disturb in excretion of mucus by cervical glands.
