The view of the endocervical canal was recorded before and after the application of 5% acetic acid and the squamocolumnar junction was identified in its entirety. An endocervical curettage was taken in all the cases and compared with the final histopathology report.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Squamocolumnar junction was visible in all the 40 cases; however, in two patients (5%), cervical dilatation had to be done. The positive predictive value (PPV) of endocervicoscopy in our study was 33.3% and negative predictive value (NPV) was 100%. Dense acetowhitening\/irregular polypoidal endocervical mucosa with dilated blood vessels was significant in predicting the premalignant and malignant lesions with PPV of 67% and NPV of 100%.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Endocervicoscopy allows a panoramic view of the endocervical canal. It is a safe, effective, and feasible technique for visualization of squamocolumnar junction with 5% acetic acid in cases of T3 TZ on colposcopy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jmh.jmh_137_19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,20]],"date-time":"2022-01-20T09:26:24Z","timestamp":1642670784000},"page":"281-286","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Endocervicoscopy with Office Hysteroscope for Complete Visualization of Transformation Zone in Cases of Invisible Squamocolumnar Junction on Colposcopy"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Priyanka","family":"Meena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amita","family":"Suneja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richa","family":"Aggarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neelam B.","family":"Vaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiran","family":"Mishra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R3-7-20240906","first-page":"131","article-title":"The unsatisfactory colposcopy examination","volume":"28","author":"Rocelson","year":"1983","journal-title":"J Reprod Med"},{"key":"R4-7-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.4103\/1596-3519.112396","article-title":"Colposcopy: The scientific basis","volume":"12","author":"Bappa","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ann Afr Med"},{"key":"R5-7-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"166","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e318254f90c","article-title":"2011 colposcopic terminology of the international federation for cervical pathology and colposcopy","volume":"120","author":"Bornstein","year":"2012","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"R6-7-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1090","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0034-1383216","article-title":"Explanation and use of the Rio 2011 colposcopy nomenclature of the IFCPC (International Federation for Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy): Comments on the general colposcopic assessment of the uterine cervix: Adequate\/inadequate; squamocolumnar junction; transformation zone","volume":"74","author":"Quaas","year":"2014","journal-title":"Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd"},{"key":"R7-7-20240906","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"368","DOI":"10.1111\/cyt.12177","article-title":"Increasing the sensitivity of endocervical curettings by performing ThinPrep\u00ae Pap on transport container fluid: Is diagnostic material going down the drain?","volume":"26","author":"Lastra","year":"2015","journal-title":"Cytopathology"},{"key":"R8-7-20240906","first-page":"271","article-title":"Overcoming unsatisfactory colposcopy.
