4.2 Strengths and limitations
A number of studies have analyzed the influencing factors associated
with positive cone margin. However, to our knowledge, this study is the
first study on the problem of making additional cuts in cervical
conization.
There are limitations of this study. This analysis only refers to 965
pathology reports at the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical
University (Dalian, China), and only 64 doctors involved in. Moreover,
there are rare studies on the publications of additional cut in cervical
conization, resulting in a lack of research in other hospitals or
regions has not been investigated, the generalizability of the results
is uncertain. We cannot definitively say that additional cut can reduce
the occurrence of positive margin in conization to some extent. A
retrospectively Korean study of 65 cases performed that conization type
and cone volume were statistically significant for preterm
delivery13, but we unable to investigate whether
additional cuts have an impact on preterm delivery due to a lack of
follow-up of patients.
