Design: A retrospective cohort review.
Setting: Children's and adult tertiary care university-based hospital.
Objectives: To report the overtreatment rate for see-and-treat versus 3-step conventional strategy (cervical cytology, colposcopic biopsies, then LEEP) for patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) cytology. Our second aim was to identify risk factors for overtreatment.
Methods: We included 178 women with HSIL cytology from our university-based colposcopy clinic who underwent LEEP between 2007 and 2014.
