[Non-therapeutic cone: surgical or conservative management?].

: Histological reports of 94 conization specimens with margins' involvement were reviewed. Macroscopically and histologically features of cones and subsequent hysterectomy specimens are described, (N = 70). Patients parity (4.1 vs 2.9 births), cone's height (16.8 mm vs. 21.4 mm) and endo-or exocervical location of margins involvement were found to be statistically different between groups with and without residual disease at hysterectomy, (p < 0.01, p < 0.05 and p < 0.001). No predictable index was found at multiple variable analyses.
