Factors influencing persistence or recurrence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia after loop electrosurgical excision procedure.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of persistent or recurrent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) after a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) procedure in an urban population of low socioeconomic status.

Methods: A database was created using information about LEEPs done between October 2004 and December 2008 at John H. Stroger Jr.

Histology of loop electrosurgical excision procedures performed on women younger than 21 years and 65 years or older.

Objective: To examine the prevalence and histology of loop electrosurgical excision procedures (LEEPs) done on women who are outside the age limits of the updated guidelines for cervical cytologic screening.

Materials And Methods: A database of all LEEPs performed between October 2004 and November 2009 was created. All data on age, human immunodeficiency virus status, cytology and histology before the procedure, and histology of the LEEP specimen were collected.

A comparison of loop electrosurgical excision procedures between human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive and -seronegative women.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare preoperative and postoperative factors between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seropositive and -seronegative women having a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). Our hypothesis is that cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) presents differently in immunocompromised women.
