A cone biopsy is an extensive form of a cervical biopsy. It is called a cone biopsy because a cone-shaped wedge of tissue is removed from the cervix and examined under a microscope.
A sample of tissue can be removed for a cone biopsy using:
* A surgical knife (scalpel).
* laser.
* Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP).
I think this clears your doubt
