==Cervical specimens==

Cytology:

# Pap test - see ''[[gynecologic cytopathology]]''.

The types of biopsies that are done are:

# Cervical biopsies - to work-up squamous dysplasia, e.g. [[squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix]].

# Endocervical curettage (ECC) - to work-up columnar dysplasia, e.g. [[endocervical adenocarcinoma]]/[[endometrial adenocarcinoma]].

# ~~Endometrial curettage~~ (~~endometrial biopsy~~) - ~~covered in~~ the ''[[~~endometrium~~]]~~'' article~~.

Surgical specimens:

# [[Loop electrosurgical excision procedure]] (LEEP).

# Radical trachelectomy - removal of the uterine cervix and parametria, preserves fertility.

# Radical hysterectomy - advanced cervical carcinoma (Stage IA2 and Stage IB1), recurrent carcinoma.<ref name=pmid20871657>{{Cite journal | last1 = Ware | first1 = RA. | last2 = van Nagell | first2 = JR. | title = Radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy: indications, technique, and complications. | journal = Obstet Gynecol Int | volume = 2010 | issue = | pages = | month = | year = 2010 | doi = 10.1155/2010/587610 | PMID = 20871657 }}</ref>

Other:

*Total abdominal hysterectomy - for non-cervical pathology, e.g. [[uterine leiomyoma]]s, [[uterine adenomyosis]].

*Radical hysterectomy - for [[endometrial carcinoma]] with endocervical involvement.
