Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
This prospective observational study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) as a management strategy for women with four or more smears showing borderline changes or mild dyskaryosis. A total of 102 women with four or more smears showing minor abnormalities and no colposcopic evidence of high-grade disease opted to undergo LLETZ in preference to continued cytological surveillance. Histology of the LLETZ specimens showed 11 cases of CIN2/3, one CGIN, 32 CIN1 and 10 HPV changes. In 97 of the 102 (95%) women, the follow-up cervical smear reverted to negative. |
