Loop Excision for Precancers of the Uterine Cervix: Local or General Anaesthetic?

CONCLUSION: Following loop excision under local anaesthesia, more than 95% of patients would choose this method again for repeat surgery. One year post surgery, 97% of the patients were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with the treatment under local anaesthesia. Offering local anaesthesia for loop excision to patients should be mandatory and included in current guidelines.PMID:37808260 | PMC:PMC10556877 | DOI:10.1055/a-2150-0835
