It should not be forgotten,however, that the cases are comparatively rare in which the simpleprocedure just described will suffice, as the entire cervix up towardand even beyond the os internum will be found to be involved in thevast majority. Consequently, unless the strongest evidence exists favor-ing an intact condition of the upper cervix, it will be wiser to amputateor excise higher up.
