Purpose: To assess the success rates of two step loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) compared with conventional cold conization procedures for decreasing positive surgical margins.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on 70 patients who underwent colposcopic evaluation in Zeynep Kamil Women and Children's Health Training and Research Hospital between 20132015 with indications of CIN 2/3 or persistent CIN 1 for more than 2 years. The study included age matched groups of patients with similar histopathololical lesions who underwent cold conization (n=40) or LEEP (N=30).
Results: Comparison of tissue characteristics between the two groups revealed significantly higher deepest depth and lower volume of tissue removed by the two step LEEP. Ectocervical positivity rate was similar between groups (1/39 versus 0/29, P>0.05), while endocervical surgical margin positivity rate was significantly higher in the cold conization group (9/39 versus 0/29, P<0.05). Surgical margin positive cases were significantly older than the cases with negative margins (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Two step LEEP made it easier to reach the squamocolumnar junction in the endocervical region with lower blood loss and applicability in office settings. Our study suggests to use two step approach in cases with high grade and glandular CIN.

Cervical cancer is a largely preventable malignancy of the uterine cervix. The tendencies in cervical cancer morbidity and mortality have remained similar for the past decade, albeit with increasing frequency in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Moreover, in the majority of LMICs, cervical cancer is the second most prevalent cancer and the second most common cause of cancer-related death among reproductive-age women.

Article Synopsis
- * It compares outcomes of large loop excision (LLETZ), cold-knife conization (CKC), and hysterectomy in a cohort of 4,243 patients, finding that LLETZ had a higher recurrence rate of high-grade dysplasia compared to CKC.
- * When a complete radical excision is achieved, both LLETZ and CKC show similar low rates of recurrence, while hysterectomy results in no cases of cervical dysplasia or cancer, suggesting conservative treatments can be

Article Synopsis
- This study focused on identifying risk factors for recurrence after surgical treatments for cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN).
- Researchers analyzed the outcomes of 83 women over seven years, using statistical methods to determine which factors contributed to recurrence following their initial procedures.
- Key findings revealed that positive endocervical margins, performing multiple excisions, and a surgical cone depth of less than one cm significantly increased the risk of recurrence, with a median recurrence time of 11.6 months.

Objective: Analyze women treated with underwent cold knife conization (CKC) to remove advanced squamous intraepithelial lesions (CIN) of the cervix. The histopathological upgrading of the lesions previously detected on vaginal biopsy and postoperative pregnancy outcomes of were investigated, to identify high-risk subgroups in women.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at the First Central Hospital of Baoding City from June 2019 to December 2022 to analyze confirmed cases of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia CIN-II and CIN-III.
