Outcomes of Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedures Performed for Severe Cervical Dysplasia in Botswana
Most women who underwent LEEP had CIN3 and positive margins. Almost half with positive margins followed at >1 year after initial LEEP had CIN2/3 recurrence warranting further treatment; two thirds were not followed. Resources are needed to improve post-LEEP follow-up for women with margin positivity who require additional ablative/excisional procedures to reduce the cervical cancer burden in Botswana.
