Surgical, oncological and obstetric outcomes of the Shimodaira-Taniguchi conization method.

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to investigate the surgical, oncological and obstetric outcomes of the Shimodaira-Taniguchi (S-T) conization method. A total of 858 cases of high-grade intraepithelial lesions treated with S-T conization were retrospectively reviewed, and the surgical, oncological and obstetric outcomes were analyzed. The χ² test was used to compare the clinical characteristics between patients with and without cervical stenosis. The factors associated with recurrent/persistent disease were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses with a Cox hazards regression model. The obstetric outcomes after conization were also evaluated. Cervical stenosis and recurrent/persistent disease occurred in 2.2 and 4.9% of the patients, respectively. Older age [≥45 years; hazard
