Abstract
Destructive methods in the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasias have been widely used in the last three decades of the last century. Electrodiatrocoagulation was widespread in our country in the 1970s and 1980s.
It was used to "prevent lesions", which was to destroy the transformation zone of the exocervix. The result was the immersion of the transformation zone in the endocervix and in the following years a number of endocervically localized precancerous lesions and carcinomas.
Insufficient destruction often led to multiple ovulosis on the exocervix. This method was critically rejected in our country in the 1990s.
In particular, performance without histology was designated for all destructive methods as performance non lege artis. A more effective method was cryotherapy, which reached its greatest popularity in the late 1980s.
Long healing, unclear depth of destruction, performing procedures without histopathological examination and overuse of this method in unindicated cases led to the gradual discrediting of this method in our country.
