What is a ColposcopeWhat is a Colposcope??

ColposcopeColposcopeStereoscopic, Binocular Microscope with 3

specifications: low magnification (10 – 40) * Focal length (20 – 25 CM) Width of visual field > 25 MM.- NB: Colpomicroscope (150 – - NB: Colpomicroscope (150 –

Gynecologist should be aware of: 1. Value 2. Instruments. 3. Different terminology (Anatomical – histological

Pathological – Cytological and Colposcopic) 4. Indications. 5. Steps for colposcopy 6. Diagnostic Criteria. 7. Interpretation. 8. Pitfalls. 9. Training. 10. Treatment.

Value of ColposcopyValue of Colposcopy

1. Fill the gap bet. N/E & Cytopathology.2. Early detection for precancerous lesions of lower

genital tract (CIN, VAIN, VIN).3. Decrease diagnostic conization and hysterectomy.4. Complementary for cytology or VIA (Each one

cover the disadvantages of the other).

CYTOLOGY DISCOVERS THE CRIME &COLPOSCOPY LOCATES THE CULPRIT.

Pitfalls of ColposcopyPitfalls of Colposcopy1. False squamo- columnar j.(finger – speculum –

smear ).2. High squamo – columnar J. in canal (> 5mm up).3. Previously treated cervix by cryo, or laser.4. Adenocarcinoma in situ (difficult) -

hysterocolpomicroscope.5. Subjective method (cervicography & digital

color imaging Colposcopy (DCIC) are objective methods.

Page 27: Colposcopy Commandments

Lines of TreatmentLines of Treatment 1. No treatment.2. Follow up.3. Local destructive therapy (Electro –

coagulation diathermy – cryocautery – cold coagulation – laser , photodynamic).

4. Cone biopsy.5. Hysterectomy.

Page 28: Colposcopy Commandments

Criteria for local destructiveCriteria for local destructiveTherapy (LDT)Therapy (LDT)

1. Satisfactory Colposcopy.

2. Expert colposcopist.

3. No suspicious of invasion (Cytology + Colposcopy + Histopathology).

4. ECC or ECB is negative.

5. Done by the expert colposcopist.

6. Good follow – up.

RecommendationsRecommendationsColposcopy is not a difficult procedure, but without good training, maximum benefits are not realized and serious mistakes can be made.

In modern practice, Colposcopy has become an integral part of the gynecologic examination.

Page 30: Colposcopy Commandments

RecommendationsRecommendationscont…cont…

Colposcopy, can not be done in a vacuum, rather it must be performed in combination with cytology ,VIA and tissue sampling.

Cervicography , digital colour imaging Colposcopy (DCIC) & computer aided colposcopy are objective rather than subjective methods.
