摘要
OBJECTIVE: The study was undertaken to evaluate the use of the loop electrosurgical excision procedure as an outpatient hospital or surgicenter procedure. STUDY DESIGN: The records of 358 patients treated for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia at a large community hospital over a 1-year period were reviewed. RESULTS: The specimens obtained by loop electrosurgical excision procedure and laser cone excision were comparable in size but smaller than those by means of cold-knife conization. Seventy-two percent of loop electrosurgical excision procedure specimens consisted of two to eight tissue fragments (mean 3.4). In addition, 48% of the loop electrosurgical excision procedure specimens and 38% of laser cones had moderate or severe thermal artifacts. Fragmentation and cautery damage precluded orientation of tissue and evaluation of margins in 19% of the cases. CONCLUSIONS: The advent of the loop electrosurgical excision procedure has shifted the management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia from the office to the outpatient surgery centers. This negates and, in fact, reverses the advantage of loop electrosurgical excision procedure over other methods in regard to cost and convenience through evaluating and treating a patient with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in one office visit. Loop electrosurgical excision procedures provide specimens that are inferior compared with cold-knife cones; therefore the role of loop electrosurgical excision procedure for the management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia outside the office appears limited.
