2-22. REMOVAL OF PEDUNCULATED CERVICAL MYOMA
a. General. This operation involves the removal of a tumor by the snare method or by dissection from the cervical canal with a knife (or with cold-knife conization). Cervical polyps stem from the endocervical canal. They may vary in size and are soft, red, and friable. Bleeding may result from the slightest trauma. Usually, the surgeon performs an endometrial and endocervical curettage and a cytological smear is taken.
b. Operative Procedure.
