Background and purpose:High frequency loop electrosurgical excision procedure(LEEP)has been widely used in the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The purpose of this study was to explore the value of loop electrosurgical excision procedure in the diagnosis and management of CINⅢ and stage ⅠAl cervical carcinoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out in 396 cases of CINⅢ and cervical carcinoma with stage ⅠAl undergoing operation and loop electrosurgical excision procedure between January 2003 and October 2006 at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University.Results:The coincidence rate of the multiple biopsies before the procedures compared with the conization ones was 88.6 % (351/395). The incidence of residual disease was 10.2%(6/59) and 7.7 % (6/78), respectively in patients with positive margins and negative margins.Conclusions:Loop electrosurgical excision procedure can improve both the diagnosis and treatment of CINⅢ and cervical carcinoma stage ⅠAl. We should offer further treatment properly to the cases with positive margin because of the persistent lesions.
