[Follow-up and management of patients with incomplete cone biopsies for dysplasias (author's transl)].

Report of 86 cone biopsies for dysplasias of the cervix. In 11 of these cases the cone biopsy did not show a clearly dysplasia free margin. These patients were followed from 1 to 6 years without further treatment and none showed a suspicious or positive pap smear. In young patients who desire further pregnancies it appears to be justified to follow without further treatment even after incomplete cone biopsies for dysplasia. Two patients with complete removal of the dysplasia and a normal margin in the cone biopsy later showed positive pap smears. The importance of further follow-up of the cases is stressed.
