Objective: To evaluate the impact of healthcare reorganization during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic on Italian colposcopy clinic activities, focusing on cervical excision procedures, follow-ups for conservative management of low-grade lesions, and follow-ups post cervical excision.
Methods: Retrospective study conducted in 14 Italian colposcopy clinics. The number and clinical characteristics of cervical excisions, follow-ups for conservative management of low-grade lesions, and follow-ups after cervical excision were compared between the period March 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020 (pre-pandemic) and March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021 (pandemic) with a Poisson regression analysis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of CO2 laser colposcopic guided surgery performed in an outpatient see and treat setting in the management of VHSIL. Women with a suspected diagnosis of VHSIL and no vulvoscopic suspicion of vSCC were enrolled. An electronic register of CO2 laser treatment was created where description of performing parameters (excision or ablation) was specified and personal history was recorded.
