Overview

A colposcopic biopsy is a gynecologic procedure that typically is used to evaluate a patient who has had an abnormal pap smear. The colposcope is actually a close-focusing telescope that allows the physician to see in detail abnormal areas on the cervix of the uterus, so that a good representation of the abnormal area can be removed and sent to the pathologist.
