To evaluate the definition of the entity "cervical elongation", as it effects our clinical work and surgical outcome. A search of PubMed for publications since the year 2000 regarding "cervical elongation", in order to track the evolution in the understanding and assessing of the entity. Out of 27,317 publications, 25,285 were in English and, after filtering those for "humans" and "cervical elongation in women", we ended up with 16 relevant publications. After reviewing the literature, we found that there was no consensus regarding either any aspect of "cervical elongation", or the proper way to measure the cervix, the threshold for definition or even the pathophysiology behind it.
为评估“宫颈延长”这一实体的定义,因为它会影响我们的临床工作和手术结果。检索自2000年以来PubMed上关于“宫颈延长”的出版物,以追踪对该实体理解和评估的演变。在27317篇出版物中,25285篇为英文,在筛选出“人类”和“女性宫颈延长”的相关文献后,最终得到16篇相关出版物。在回顾文献后,我们发现对于“宫颈延长”的任何方面、测量宫颈的正确方法、定义阈值甚至其背后的病理生理学,都没有达成共识。
