| Popis: | A retrospective analysis of 1366 cervical polyps showed that none had malignant features and 67% were removed from asymptomatic women. A policy removing only cervical polyps from symptomatic women or those with abnormal cervical cytology and limiting histological examination to these polyps would result in significant savings and reduce the small risk of morbidity associated with polypectomy. |
