AimThe incidence of non-obstetrical complications after cervical conization is low, and women receive minimal postsurgical attention. In this study, we investigated whether women felt any discomfort after undergoing conization by harmonic scalpel, one of the hot-knife devices widely used in Japan. MethodsEighty-eight women aged 20-47 years who were still experiencing menstrual cycles and had undergone harmonic conization participated in a questionnaire survey regarding perisurgical complications and postsurgical changes in gynecological issues. Correlations between the occurrence of postoperative complications and clinical characteristics were analyzed. ResultsRegarding the complications immediately after the surgery, 37 women (45.1%) complained of postoperative bleeding that was heavier than their usual menstrual bleeding, and 14 (18.2%) reported that the postsurgical bleeding was greater than they had expected. Regarding long-term gynecological changes after conization, 27 women (30.7%) reported that the duration of menstrual bleeding had increased after the surgery, 20 (22.7%) indicated that pain during menstruation had changed, and 40 (45.5%) stated that the amount of menstrual bleeding had changed. Irregular genital bleeding outside of menstruation appeared in 23 women (26.4%). Additionally, 24 (27.6%) of the women reported that the conization procedure negatively impacted their quality of life. Finally, the occurrence of long-term atypical bleeding after the surgery was significantly correlated with the thickness and circumference of the tissue specimen. ConclusionSeveral women experienced a significant change in quality of life after harmonic conization. Women who undergo conization should receive a comprehensive preoperative overview of the procedure and attentive postsurgical care.
