Diathermic loop treatment for CIN and HPV lesions. A follow-up of 130 cases

In order to evaluate the therapeutic value of Diathermic Loop Excision (DLE), the Authors consider the colpocytohistological follow-up findings (at 3, 6 and 12 months) made in a series of 130 women who underwent DLE for CIN and cervical HPV lesions. The percentages of regression of the lesions, ranging from 84.9% and 93.7% for CIN lesions, and from 62.9% to 71.0% for HPV lesions, confirm that DLE is a rational and effective technique in the treatment of circumscribed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and HPV lesions.
