The Effect of Cervical Blockade in LEEP Procedures Performed Under General Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Cervical blockade in LEEP performed under general anesthesia significantly reduces bleeding and pain. It does not influence blood transfusions, recovery, hospital readmissions or complications. Cervical blockade may enhance patient comfort and minimize intraoperative morbidity during LEEP. These preliminary findings require confirmation in larger, multicenter, preferably blinded trials.
