Summary:Microcolpohysteroscopy (MCH) is a method of contact microscopic examination of the ecto- and endocervical epithelium after in vivo staining. To investigate the capability of this procedure, to visualise exactly and identify the margins of cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN), 85 patients with pathological pap smears and two patients with suspicious colposcopy were examined by MCH, microbiopsy from suspicious areas of epithelium and subsequent histology. The ability of MCH to identify and demarcate CIN lesions was verified. It would appear, that using this method, the therapy of higher-grade CIN can be tailored more adequately to the size of the lesion without loss of reliability in respect of the completeness of excision.
