Nature and Purpose of the LEEP Procedure

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) is a common treatment for abnormal cervical cells (cervical dysplasia) identified during biopsies. The goal is to remove these abnormal cells before they can progress to cervical cancer. During the procedure, which is performed in the office, you will lie on an exam table. The doctor inserts a speculum and applies a vinegar-like solution to highlight the abnormal areas on the cervix. A local anesthetic (numbing medicine) is injected into the cervix to minimize discomfort. The doctor then uses a thin, wire loop heated by an electrical current to quickly slice away a thin layer of abnormal tissue. A paste (Monsel's solution) is applied to the cervix to prevent bleeding. The removed tissue is sent to a laboratory for evaluation. The procedure takes about 10 to 20 minutes.

Material Risks and Potential Complications

Vaginal bleeding: Spotting or moderate bleeding is normal for 1 to 2 weeks. Heavy bleeding (soaking through a sanitary pad in an hour) occurs in 1 to 2 percent of patients and requires immediate clinical care.

Discharge and cramping: A dark, thick, mustard-like discharge (from the Monsel's paste) is normal. Mild to moderate menstrual-like cramping is common for a few days.

Cervical stenosis: Narrowing of the cervical canal due to scar tissue, which can make menstrual flow difficult or painful, or interfere with future fertility evaluations.

Pregnancy impact: LEEP can slightly increase the risk of cervical insufficiency (a weak cervix) during future pregnancies, leading to a small increase in the risk of preterm labor or low birth weight babies.

Uterine infection: A rare risk of pelvic infection, marked by severe pain, fever, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge, requiring antibiotic treatment.

Incomplete removal: If the laboratory report shows abnormal cells at the edge of the removed tissue, a repeat procedure or closer monitoring may be needed.

Reasonable Alternatives to LEEP

Cold Knife Cone Biopsy: A surgical procedure in an operating room under general anesthesia where a scalpel is used to remove a cone-shaped wedge of the cervix, typically used for more advanced cell abnormalities.

Laser ablation or cryotherapy: Freezing or burning the abnormal cells on the cervix. This destroys the cells instead of removing them, meaning no tissue sample can be sent to the laboratory for final pathology checks.

Active surveillance: Regular Pap smears, HPV testing, and colposcopy examinations to monitor the cells, acceptable only for low-grade, mild abnormalities.

Declining treatment: Choosing to do nothing. This carries a high risk that the abnormal cells will worsen and eventually develop into cervical cancer.

Risks of Declining the Procedure

If you decline the LEEP, abnormal cells will remain on your cervix. If these cells are moderate-to-severe (high-grade dysplasia), they have a significant chance of transforming into invasive cervical cancer over several years. This cancer is life-threatening and requires extensive surgeries, chemotherapy, or radiation.

Pathology and Post-Procedure Restrictions Disclosures

All tissue removed during LEEP will be evaluated by a pathology laboratory. To ensure proper healing of the cervix and prevent severe infection or bleeding, you must follow these rules for 4 weeks: (1) Do not place anything in the vagina (no sexual intercourse, no tampons, and no douching). (2) Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting. (3) Use sanitary pads for bleeding.

Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to decline this procedure or withdraw your consent at any time before the wire loop is activated. Doing so will not affect your relationship with your doctor or access to other clinical services.
