Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical values of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in diagnosis and treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN). Methods Fifty-two patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia underwent LEEP following cytology, colposcopy and multiple biopsies, were treated by LEEP. The cure rate, the operative time, bleeding volume and patients reaction of LEEP to the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia were investigated during the follow-up. Results The effective rate was 98.07 % in the patients treated by LEEP. The effective rate was 100 % in the patients in grade CIN Ⅰ or CIN Ⅱ by LEEP. No patients in grade CIN Ⅰ and Ⅱ had recurrence during the follow-up 1 year. The mean operative time was 7.8 minutes. The mean bleeding volume was 10 ml. No secondary bleeding and post-operative infection occurred. All these surgical specimens were checked successfully for pathology diagnosis. Conclusion The advantages to use the LEEP to manage cervical intraepithelial neoplasia include its simpleness to handle, short operative time,less bleeding, less vaginal discharge, safety, and high cure rate. LEEP can offer intact sample for pathological diagnosis. LEEP electrotome is a very ideal therapy for the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and can block the development of precancerosis to infiltrating carcinoma effectively.
