Objective: The aim of the study was to identify the risk factors of post-large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) inadequate colposcopy.
Materials And Methods: From December 2013 to July 2014, a total of 157 patients who had a LLETZ performed for the treatment of high-grade intraepithelial lesion with fully visible cervical squamocolumnar junction were included. All procedures were performed using semicircular loops.
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine which mathematical formula of specimen dimensions is the most accurate method of determining volume of the excised specimen at loop excision of the transformation zone.
Materials And Methods: A multicenter prospective observational study was conducted. A total of 258 patients who had a loop excision of the transformation zone performed as treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2-3 were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate if using direct colposcopic vision (DCV) during LLETZ affects specimen size and margin status in cervical cancer treatment.
- It involved 216 women undergoing LLETZ for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, comparing outcomes across three groups based on colposcopy usage.
- Results showed that specimens from the DCV group were significantly smaller in volume and dimensions, while margin status remained unaffected, indicating DCV may improve surgical outcomes without compromising quality.
