Abstract
A total of 846 Pap smears in women post-treated for genital organ diseases by operation and radiation (1.7% of all those made) at the Cytological Unit, Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital between April 4, 1983 and July 4, 1984, were examined. The women were aged 21-75 years (mean age 43.1 +/- 9.7 years). Sixty-seven point two per cent of the women had Wertheim operations and 30.1 per cent total abdominal hysterectomies, due to invasive carcinoma (68.1% of cases) and carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix (15.2%). Cytological findings revealed 72.8 per cent normal smears, 26.0 per cent infections (17.7% with mixed bacteria), one case of carcinoma in situ and one case of postirradiation dysplasia (both cases were post Wertheim operation). Hormonal conditions were 53.2 per cent in early menopause, 11.7 per cent in crowded menopause, 11.9 per cent in late menopause and 23.2 per cent had no hormonal evaluation. Pap smears of women post-treated for genital organ diseases by operation and radiation were examined for consideration of treatment of choice.
