Short version from having had one: local anaesthetic, the abnormal area is removed, and the whole thing takes minutes rather than hours. You walk out the same day.

Afterwards there is discharge and light bleeding for a couple of weeks and instructions about not swimming or using tampons for a while. Follow those.
