| LEEP | Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure. This is a technique for removing portions of the cervix with an electro-cautery wire loop. Usually this is performed for both diagnosis and treatment of premalignant and benign cervical problems, usually in an office setting. This procedure has all but replaced the cervical cone biopsy, although there are specific cases where the so called "cold knife cone biopsy" is still the procedure of choice. |
