Preterm birth after loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP): how cone features and microbiota could influence the pregnancy outcome.

CONCLUSIONS: The length and the volume of cervical tissue excised have been shown to be directly related to the risk for preterm birth. Furthermore, vaginal infections and their persistence during pregnancy in women with a history of LEEP may be associated with an increased risk for preterm birth, compared with women with no history of LEEP.
