The most recent guidelines for colposcopy practice in the United States, the 2017 Colposcopy Standards Consensus Guidelines, did not include recommendations for endocervical curettage (ECC). This docu...
Consensus guidelines for the use of ECC were developed in 2012. To update these guidelines in concordance with the 2017 Colposcopy Standards process, an expert workgroup was convened in 2021. Literatu...
Endocervical curettage is recommended for patients with high-grade cytology, human papillomavirus 16/18 infection, positive results on dual staining for p16/Ki67, for those previously treated for know...
These guidelines for ECC add to the 2017 consensus recommendations for colposcopy practice in the United States....
The need for curettage of atypical cartilaginous tumors (ACT) is under debate. Curretage results in defects that weaken the bone potentially leading to fractures. The purpose of this study was to retr...
A total of 297 adult patients who underwent curettage of an ACT followed by phenolisation and augmentation were retrospectively evaluated. Explanatory variables were, sex, age, tumor size, location, a...
A total of 183 females (62%) were included and 114 males (38%), with an overall median follow-up of 3.2 years (IQR 1.6-5.2). Mean diameter of the lesions was 4.5 (SD 2.8) cm. Patients received augment...
Curettage of ACT results in an overall fracture risk of 6%, which is increased for males with larger lesions....
Cryosurgery is a common destructive treatment method for intraepidermal carcinoma (IEC) above the knee. Curettage alone is a simple, non-aggressive and inexpensive treatment method commonly used on be...
We aimed to (1) compare the effectiveness of cryosurgery (standard method) to curettage (experimental method) for treatment of IEC in regard to overall clearance rates at 1-year follow-up, and (2) inv...
In this randomized and controlled, non-inferiority trial, adult patients with one or more IEC with a diameter of 5-20 mm, located above the knee and suitable for destructive treatment were recruited f...
In total, 183 lesions in 147 patients were included, with 93 lesions randomized to cryosurgery and 90 to curettage. Eighty-eight (94.6%) of the lesions in the cryosurgery group and 71 (78.9%) in the c...
Cryosurgery and curettage both result in high clearance rates for treatment of IEC, but cryosurgery is significantly more effective. On the other hand, curettage may result in shorter wound healing ti...
Only 3 % of osseous tumors occur in the foot. The metatarsals are the -most common site whereas the calcaneus and talus are less common sites. Because these tumors are rare, the aim of our study is to...
The clinical and radiological data of 41 patients diagnosed with benign hindfoot tumors were retrospectively reviewed. The study included 31 males and 10 females. The average age was 23.68 (range, 5-4...
At the last follow-up visit, the average Musculoskeletal Tumor Society scoring system (MSTS) score was 28.12 (range, 21-30). MSTS scores were higher in patients with latent tumors (P = .028) and patie...
Curettage of benign bone tumors of talus or calcaneus proved to be an effective method in the management of these patients. Their functional outcome is also excellent. All the complications are manage...
Level IV Therapeutic study....
Arteriovenous malformation of the uterus is a rare encounter with sporadic incidence. They are usually acquired following events like dilation and curettage or abortions. It should always be considere...
To describe the curettage and sclerotherapy technique, a hybrid approach to treatment for superficial lymphatic malformations....
A retrospective analysis of a lymphatic malformation data base was performed. Patients with superficial lymphatic malformation treated by curettage and sclerotherapy technique with bleomycin were incl...
Between September 2019 and October 2021, 10 consecutive patients (male/female ratio: 4:6; mean age, 10.9 years; range, 3-35 years) presented with superficial lymphatic malformations that were subseque...
A curettage and sclerotherapy technique is proposed to treat superficial lymphatic malformation in this study. This technique seems to be safe and highly effective....
Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a lytic benign bone lesion representing about 1% of all primary bone tumors. Method to treat ABC's have developed over time. The standard of care cure for ABC has been cu...
We retrospectively reviewed 265 patients who underwent curettage and bone grafting or SAE performed at our institute from 1994 to 2018. The diagnosis of ABC was always established with percutaneous CT...
Two hundred and nineteen were treated with curettage and bone grafting (curettage group), and 46 with SAE Group. Of the 219 patients treated with Curettage and bone grafting (curettage group), 165 out...
The use of SAE is an attractive option to treat ABC as it combines on one hand a lower complication rate than curettage and bone grafting, on the other it can be carried out in case of nonresectable A...
For tumours of the ear that are suspected to involve auricular cartilage, precise definition of the extent of involved deep margin can be difficult. As large resections of cartilage can be cosmeticall...
This experimental study aimed at directly comparing conventional and endoscopic-assisted curettage towards (1) amount of residual tumour tissue (RTT) and (2) differences between techniques regarding s...
Three orthopaedic surgeons (trainee, consultant, senior consultant) performed both conventional (4x each) and endoscopic-assisted curettages (4x each) on specifically prepared cortical-soft cancellous...
Median overall RTT was 1% (IQR 1 - 4%). Endoscopic-assisted curettage was associated with lower amount of RTT (median, 1%, IQR 0 - 5%) compared to conventional curettage (median, 4%, IQR 0 - 15%, p = ...
Endoscopic-assisted curettage appears superior to conventional curettage regarding complete tissue removal, yet at expenses of prolonged curetting time. In clinical practice, this procedure may be res...
Following curettage of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB), it is common to fill the cavity with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement, bone allograft, or artificial bone to maintain bone strength; ho...
This study included 284 patients with GCTBs of the extremities who underwent curettage at our institutions between 1980 and 2018 after excluding patients whose cavities were not filled with anything o...
Fractures after curettage occurred in 10 (3.5%) patients, and the median time from the curettage to fracture was 3.5 months (interquartile range [IQR], 1.8-8.3 months). The median postoperative follow...
For GCTBs of the femur, especially those with pathological fracture at presentation, bone grafting after curettage is recommended to reduce the risk of postoperative fracture. Additional plate fixatio...
