Abstract109 women referred to our center for colposcopy because of suspicious cervical cytology and in whom an abnormal epithelial pattern was diagnosed on colposcopy, or in whom a discrepancy between cytology and colposcopy was encountered, concomitantly underwent loop electrosurgical excision procedure as an outpatient procedure. All removed specimens were examined and no invasive cancer was found in any of them. No serious complications occurred. Ambulatory loop electrosurgical excision procedure appears to be a cost-effective and well tolerated treatment modality for the management of women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, with the advantage that this conservative procedure allows histologic examination of the removed tissue.
