Objective:
To evaluate the loop electrosurgical excisional procedure (LEEP) which is performed to treat high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions (HGSIL).
Material And Methods:
Twenty-one cases diagnosed as LGSIL and HGSIL after histopathological examination were included in the study among patients who had cervical colposcopy-directed biopsies after an abnormal cytology report at Ege University School of Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology Department between the years of 2007 and 2009. The patients underwent LEEP or LEEP-cone procedures.
Results:
The patients with cervical smear results of ten ASCUS, eight LGSIL, and three HGSIL underwent colposcopy-guided punch biopsies. Those with the result of CIN 1 and CIN 2 underwent LEEP or LEEP-cone procedures. Pathologic examination correlated with biopsy results and surgical margins were all negative. All patients were followed-up with cervical cytology.
Conclusion:
LEEP and LEEP-cone procedures are therapeutic procedures in cervical intraepithelial lesions.
