%X Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of endocervical curettage and brushing during colposcopic evaluation in patients having suspected changes in Pap smear and negative colposcopy.Methodology: results from 43 women having abnormal Pap smear and negative satisfactory colposcopy; endocervical curettage during colposcopic evaluation were thus compared to endocervical brushing during colposcopic evaluation.Results: the endocervical curettage was useful to detect cervical intraepithelial neoplasia no suspected during satisfactory colposcopic evaluation. The endocervical brushings was useful too, but the endocervical curettage was better.Conclusion: this study suggests that endocervical curettage can be useful during negative satisfactory colposcopic evaluation of a patient with an abnormal Papnicolaou smear.RESUMENObjetivos: El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la utilidad del cepillado y legrado endocervical durante la evaluaci車n colposc車pica en pacientes con citolog赤a anormal y colposcopia satisfactoria negativa. Materiales y m谷todos: Se incluyeron 43 mujeres con citolog赤a anormal y colposcopia satisfactoria negativa. Se realiz車 legrado y cepillado endocervical y se compararon los resultados.Resultados: El legrado endocervical fue 迆til en detectar neoplasia intraepitelial cervical no observada durante la evaluaci車n colposc車pica satisfactoria. El cepillado endocervical tambi谷n fue 迆til, pero el legrado fue mejor.Conclusi車n: Este estudio sugiere que el legrado endocervical puede ser de utilidad durante la evaluaci車n colposc車pica satisfactoria negativa de pacientes con una citolog赤a anormal.
