In this article, Dr. Ellie Servan shares her experience and advice on colposcopy, highlighting the importance of quality equipment and an educational relationship with the patient.
What makes a good colposcopy?
In my opinion, a good colposcopy begins with taking the time to inform the patient and explain why the examination is being performed. […] It also involves good exposure and good equipment to best visualize the lesions we are trying to identify.
What type of colposcopy do you perform in your office?
In my office, I perform simple colposcopies, most often after a positive screening result. […] For more complex cases, I perform them at the clinic, where we have more equipment and better patient care.
What is your main advantage during the examination?
With Delmont imaging colposcopes, in addition to the excellent optical quality, I find the small but very useful feature is the focal length adjuster. This allows you to keep the entire colposcope in place and provides extremely precise vision regardless of the area of the cervix you are examining.
What convinced you to buy a Delmont colposcope?
What convinced me was the image quality. […] Delmont is a solid, efficient, and simple device that has already proven itself in hysteroscopy, so it was a natural choice for me.
Does being able to show the images on the iPad change the relationship with the patient?
Yes, very much so. Being able to show the images makes the examination more educational and reassuring. […] It demystifies the procedure and helps patients better understand what is happening.
What advice would you give to young colposcopists starting out?
The advice I give to young practitioners is not to hesitate to invest seriously in the equipment they will use because it is very important to have high-quality, state-of-the-art equipment that will allow us to see clearly, perform biopsies correctly, and feel comfortable. […]
