Abstract

Conization for suspected high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is often performed based on abnormal cytology only. Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is a very common technique in this context. The present study analyses the accuracy of preoperative assessment of CIN with cytology plus colposcopic biopsy and assesses the efficacy of LEEP for the treatment of CIN.
