Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of LEEP and cold-knife conization on the outcome of subsequent pregnancy in a tertiary public hospital. METHODS: One hundred and ninety-nine patients met the inclusion criteria (age between 18 and 45 years old). Cold-knife conization, LEEP, and both (conization and LEEP) were performed in 102 (51.3%), 95 (47.7%) and two (1%) women, respectively. Average ages were respectively, 33 +/- 7.3; 25 +/- 6.73 and 30 +/- 2.8. RESULTS: Pregnancies occurred 2.6 and 4.8 years after LEEP and conization, respectively. Miscarriages and preterm pregnancies were more frequent in conization cases versus LEEP, 26% and 5.2%, 23% and 5.5%, respectively. CONCLUSION: If patients express a desire for pregnancy, LEEP should be the procedure of choice.
