Zusammenfassung:	Colposcopically directed punch biopsies and endocervical curettage were employed in 301 patients with abnormal Papanicolaou smears. A positive endocervical curettage was found in 11.5 per cent of the patients. The remaining patients had a negative endocervical curettage and were managed by cryosurgery, conization, or primary hysterectomy. Cryosurgery was successfully employed in 81 per cent of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.
