A cone biopsy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing a conical or cylindrical section of tissue from the lower portion of the cervix, which is the neck of the uterus. This procedure is typically performed when a cervical smear test yields abnormal results and the extent of the precancerous or cancerous area cannot be adequately visualized through colposcopy, which involves inspecting the cervix using a specialized viewing instrument.
