Sumario:INTRODUCTION: Cervical stenosis can represent a hard complication to treat after conization for microinvasive cervical cancer. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A young woman with cervical stenosis post-trachelectomy for a microinvasive cervical cancer came to our Department. We introduced a silicone catheter of 18 French in cervical canal. The catheter was removed after 20 days. The procedure was resolutive. DISCUSSION: Cervical stenosis is one of the most frequent complication of conization. Among the different described techniques proposed in literature, we would here report the successful use of a silicon urethral catheter into the cervical canal. CONCLUSION: This method can be an easy and cheap procedure to take in consideration.
