To cut or not to cut - that is the question: a comparative analysis of long-term follow-up after complete and incomplete electroconization of the cervix due to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.

Introduction: Electroconization of the uterine cervix (LEEP/LLETZ) is an appropriate and sufficient procedure for high-grade squamous epithelial lesion - HSIL. Negative margins are considered fundamental for confirming the absence of residual disease. Further management after incomplete excision among women who have not completed their procreative plans is difficult because subsequent cervical procedures may cause issues with carrying a pregnancy to term.
