- Abstract
The aim of the research was to assess the outcome of persistent (=two years) low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 1) medicated with loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). An analysis of 38 topics with persistent biopsy-confirmed CIN 1 diagnosed after low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) or atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) on Pap test and treated using LEEP was performed. Post-LEEP follow-up were scheduled in 6 months, 1 year, and yearly thereafter: cytology, colposcopy, and plasma diagnostic examinations. There were 38 LSIL patients treated with LEEP conization. About 6 patients were excluded from the study due to subsequent hysterectomy and 2 patients never attended the follow-up schedule in the rest. The remaining 30 patients were retrospective studied for the incidence of recurrent rate. The mean age of the patient was 44 years. About 50% of patients were multiparity and nearly one - third used oral contraceptive pill. The results of this study suggest that the incidence of CIN 2+ lesions during follow-up of persistent biopsy-confirmed CIN 1 after ASC-US/LSIL treated by LEEP is very low.
