Conclusion
The CISH technique can be applied without major complications and offers advantages such as less physical stress and quicker recovery.
Supporting Evidence
- 253 patients underwent the CISH technique with a low complication rate of 4.4%.
- The average operative time was 125.5 minutes for laparotomy and 152.2 minutes for pelviscopy.
- Histological analysis showed complete removal of the transformation zone in all cases.
- Patients experienced a mean hospitalization of 4 to 7 days, significantly shorter than traditional methods.
