Age-adjusted treatment of cervical intraepithelial 1 lesions by superficial or regular loop excision of transformation zone.

CONCLUSIONS: Among women of childbearing age, the performance of a LEEP procedure with smaller cone height appeared equivocal in achieving correct pathological diagnoses and low recurrence. To avoid increasing the risk of premature delivery, the excisional depth should be adjusted to age and fertility status. PMID: 29845824 [PubMed - in process]
