| Abstract: | Colposcopy is a complementary technique to exfoliative cytology in the detection of cervical disease. The colposcope is a stereoscopic binocular magnifying instrument that provides a three-dimensional image of the tissue surface of the vulva, vagina and cervix. Colposcopy service in Malta was commenced in May 1960. It was then believed that colposcopy is not cost effective for the Maltese population. But this is short sighted thinking for a number of reasons: 1. our service does not only cater for the Maltese population, 2. there is an increase in diseases which are sexually transmissible, 3. Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) is also increasing. |
