Abstract:
Endocervical curettage (ECC) is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical neoplasia. Its use has been limited, however, because of the pain it can cause. We show that the use of a soft plastic curette cause statistically less pain without compromising the quantity or quality of the sample.
