The action of CIN eg SIL has, in recent years, altered. The reasons behind this are varied: In particular conization was previously assessed differently and furthermore there are now new methods of treatment available eg laser and loop. Pretherapeutic assessment methods such as Cytology. Colposcopy and biopsy now enable an experienced practitioner to make an accurate diagnosis. Accordingly one can then choose, depending on the individual patient, the optimal therapy required. In less serious cases observation would be sufficient and in more serious cases and with younger women local therapy would be recommended. In the cases of women of more advanced years a hysterectomy should be considered. With all other patients conization would be applicable. The graduation and individual action shown is lacking in complications and considered very patient friendly.
