Center for Women’s Health – Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP)


LEEP is currently one of the most commonly used approaches to treating high grade cervical dysplasia discovered on colposcopic examination.

In this procedure, the ob-gyne used a fine wire loop and low-energy current to remove abnormal tissue from the cervix. LEEP has many advantages including low cost, high success rate, and ease of use. The procedure can be done in an office setting and only requires a local anesthetic.
