Complications of laser conization versus loop electrosurgical excision procedure in pre- and postmenopausal patients.

CONCLUSION: In postmenopausal patients, the rates of positive endocervical cone margins and of residual disease were higher in the LEEP group; however, the rate of cervical stenosis was higher in the laser group. Physicians should be aware of the characteristics of the devices used for cervical conization in postmenopausal women with CIN. PMID: 29943925 [PubMed - in process]
