Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) under local anesthesia: a retrospective analysis of 435 subsequent cases under a quality assurance program
Our study showed that the implementation of LEEP in LA was successful at our department as a new standard of care, resulting in a high R0 resection status and a high level of patients' satisfaction. We encourage physicians and organizations to switch from GA to LA when performing LEEP for cervical dysplasia.
