Endocervicoscopy is an alternative diagnostic tool to endocervical curettage for the diagnostic workup of repeatedly positive cervicovaginal cytology suggestive of a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and negative or unsatisfactory colposcopy. The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence on the diagnostic accuracy of endocervicoscopy in women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in the presence of nonvisible squamocolumnar junction with unsatisfactory colposcopy. A systematic review of literature was performed by searching in the main electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, ClinicalTrial.

Introduction: Colposcopy represents the second step of the diagnostic approach of cervical intraepithelial lesions. Limits of colposcopy in studying cervix are essentially related to cervical anatomy. Nowadays, endocervical courettage is the standard technique to examine endocervix.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of endocervicoscopy as a preoperative examination to improve the outcome of the excisional treatment (LEEP) of high-grade cervical preneoplastic lesions.
Methods: Patients with histologic diagnosis of CIN II-CIN III undergoing LEEP divided in two groups: in group A (85 women) a preoperative endocervicoscopy was performed, in group B (85 women) no additional examination was performed before LEEP. The size of the surgical specimen (H, D, W) and the margins of the lesion were evaluated.

The aim of this study was to investigate the practical utility of endocervicoscopy and targeted biopsy in high-risk human papilloma virus-positive women with abnormal squamous cells on cervical cytology and unsatisfactory colposcopy with nonvisible squamocolumnar junction. Seventy-seven high-risk human papilloma virus-positive patients with abnormal cervical cytology for squamous cells bearing type 3 transformation zone were enrolled. Endoscopic examination of the endocervical epithelium, with office-based continuous-flow hysteroscopy after application of acetic acid 5%, followed by targeted biopsies and consequent large loop excision of the transformation zone was carried out.
