Changes in Uterine Artery Resistance Index Following Cervical Conization
Sponsor: Adana City Training and Research Hospital
Summary
The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the hemodynamic impact of cervical conization on uterine artery blood flow by focusing on the Resistance Index (RI) as a direct indicator of distal vascular resistance. The central hypothesis is predicated on the physiological principle that the surgical excision and subsequent sealing of terminal cervical branches during conization increases the distal vascular impedance (afterload) encountered by the main uterine artery. Uterine artery Doppler RI measurements are performed preoperatively and at one month postoperatively to assess these alterations.

Interventions
Cervical Conization
Surgical excision of a symmetric cervical cone specimen surrounding the endocervical canal. The procedure is executed under general anesthesia using electrocautery via the Covidien Forcetriad energy platform with restricted power levels (Coagulation: 40 W, Cutting: 40 W) to minimize secondary thermal tissue damage.
