Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cervical conization is an effective treatment for precancerous lesions. However, in cases where no high-grade lesion is identified in the surgical specimen, managing these patients may be challenging due to the absence of established follow-up protocols for negative conizations. This study aimed to assess the negative conization rates at our institution by histopathological review, identify diagnostic errors, possible risk and recurrence factors and propose follow-up strategies for this group of patients. METHODS A retrospective study from January-2010 to December-2020 analyzed patients with negative conization including all surgical techniques and procedure indications. Biopsy and cervical conizations slides were reviewed and patients who kept a negative result underwent deeper levels sectioning of the paraffin blocks with immunohistochemical stains application: p16, Ki-67 and geminin. Data were compared with a control group composed by 29 women with CIN3. RESULTS Out of 1022 conizations, 186 were negative (18.1%), with 151 cases selected for the study after excluding 35 patients. Following pathology review, 4 patients were excluded due to false-positive cervical biopsy results, 16 for false-negative conization results and 9 for hidden dysplasia identified after deeper sectioning. The remaining 122 patients were considered truly negative cones (11.9%) and exhibited IHC staining with p16 positive in 20.4% of cases, low Ki-67 expression, and low geminin score in most cases. Specimens with CIN 1 had higher prevalence of p16 staining, Ki-67 expression and geminin score when compared to absence of neoplasia, nevertheless geminin had no statistical difference. Older age, higher parity and IHC pattern with negative p16, low Ki-67 and geminin expressions were identified as risk factors for negative cones (p<0.05). Only 10 patients recurred for high-grade lesions, with no statistically significant risk factors identified. CONCLUSIONS The negative conization rate was 11.9%, with diagnostic errors identified across pre-surgical biopsy, cone specimen, and deeper levels. Risk factors included older age, higher parity, low expression of p16, Ki-67 and geminin (p<0.05). Recurrence represented 8.1% of the negative cones, without identification of statistically significant risk factors. Pathological review with deeper level sections and 2-year follow-up are recommended for patients with negative conizations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The investigation of the role of preoperative conization in cervical cancer aiming to explore its potential clinical significance. DATA SOURCES Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science, up to April 28, 2023. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION (1) Observational cohort studies, (2) studies comparing radical hysterectomy with preoperative conization (CO) vs radical hysterectomy without preoperative conization (NCO) in patients with early-stage cervical cancer, and (3) studies comparing disease-free survival outcomes. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS Two reviewers independently extracted the data and assessed the quality of the studies. The meta-analysis used combined hazard ratios along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals to compare CO and NCO. We conducted a Bayesian network meta-analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to compare minimally invasive CO, open CO, minimally invasive NCO, and open NCO. Our study included 15 retrospective trials, 10 of which were used to traditional pairwise meta-analysis and 8 for network meta-analysis. The NCO group exhibited a notably higher probability of cancer recurrence than the CO group (hazard ratio, 0.52; 95% confidence interval, 0.41-0.65). In the network meta-analysis, minimally invasive NCO showed the worst survival outcome. CONCLUSION Preoperative conization seems to be a protective factor in decreasing recurrence risk, assisting clinicians in predicting survival outcomes for patients with early-stage cervical cancer. It may potentially aid in selecting suitable candidates for minimally invasive surgery in clinical practice.

Abstract
Laparoscopy and robotics are recommended for managing gynecological cancer, as they are associated with lower morbidity and comparable outcomes to open surgery. However, in the case of early cervical cancer, new evidence suggests worse oncological outcomes with these approaches compared to open surgery, though the limited number of robotic cases makes it challenging to draw definitive conclusions for this particular approach. The prior conization has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the risk of tumor spillage and contamination during minimally invasive (MIS) radical hysterectomy (RH). Retrospective studies have indicated that undergoing conization before RH is linked to a reduced risk of recurrences, especially in cervical tumors measuring less than 2 cm. Nevertheless, these studies lack the statistical power needed to definitively establish conization as a recommended step before RH. Furthermore, these studies do not have enough cases utilizing the robotic approach and specific conclusions cannot be drawn from this technique. The question of whether a subset of cases would benefit from preoperative conization and whether conization should be performed to recommend MIS over open surgery remains unanswered. Prospective clinical trials involving women diagnosed with early-stage cervical cancer <2 cm, randomized between undergoing conization before robotic RH or without prior conization are mandatory to assess the role of conization before robotic RH in cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cancer is preventable through screening and vaccination against high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV). For a screening program to be successful it is vital that the clinical management and follow-up regime of patients with abnormal screening results is well developed and that the attendance rate for follow-up is high. The aim of the study was to analyze how effective conization with recommended follow-up was in preventing subsequent cervical cancer, and to evaluate how clinical follow-up recommendations are obeyed in the region of Skåne, Sweden. METHODS All women (n = 8835) who had undergone conization in the region of Skåne, Sweden, between the years of 2015 and 2021 were identified. Individuals with confirmed cervical cancer in the conization material were referred for additional treatment (n = 114), leaving 8721 included in the follow-up. Adherence to follow-up and cytological, histopathological and HPV status at follow-up were collected at eight, 12 and 24 months post-conization. The total follow-up time was from January 1, 2015, to January 30, 2023. RESULTS Within 12 months post-conization, 90% of the patients conducted a cytological cervical sample. The rates of a negative test of cure (HPV negative and normal cytology) were 69.7%, 76.3% and 84.4% at eight, 12 and 24 months post-conization respectively. The clearance of HPV was 79.6%, 80.8% and 87.8% at eight, 12 and 24 months post-conization respectively. Out of 5613 patients with a negative test of cure within one year after conization, no cervical cancer was found during follow-up and 11 (0.2%) women developed high-grade intraepithelial lesions/adenocarcinoma in situ (HSIL/AIS) with an average time from conization to new diagnosis of 42 months. The mean follow-up time was 32.1 months. CONCLUSIONS The clearance rate of hr-HPV post cervical conization due to dysplasia appears to be high within eight months. With a negative test of cure post cervical conization, the risk of cervical cancer within the following three years seems to be extremely low and the risk of developing HSIL/AIS was lower than the incidence of HSIL/AIS in the general screening population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To show how endoCUT mode can be safely managed with cervical conization. METHODS Demonstration of the technique and explanation of endoCUT and soft coagulation mode with narrated video footage. Cervical conization is a therapeutic and diagnostic procedure performed for the diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial lesions and cervical cancer. Specific. METHODS include cold scalpel, ultrasonically activated device and laser, and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), which involves transpiration and partial excision. The endoCUT mode and soft coagulation in VIO3® (ERBE, Tübingen, Germany) were used to perform cervical conical resection safely and at low cost. The endoCUT mode was originally developed for polypectomy in gastrointestinal endoscopy, where no counter traction can be applied. RESULTS The endoCUT mode approach to cervical conization with several key strategies to minimize blood loss and ensure safety: 1) incisions can be made in close contact; 2) resection can be performed with minimal contact with the lesion; 3) control of bleeding from the resected transection by soft coagulation; and 4) low running cost of endoCUT mode. CONCLUSION Conventionally, cervical conical resection has been performed by using a device capable of making a close incision (cold scalpel, ultrasonically activated device and laser, and LEEP etc.), but there have been issues with bleeding control and cost. Here, we present a new technique using the endoCUT mode and several strategies for safe and effective resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify clinicopathological factors associated with disease recurrence for patients with 2018 FIGO stage IA with lymphovascular invasion to IB1 cervical cancer treated with minimally invasive surgery (MIS). METHODS A total of 722 patients with cervical cancer between January 2010 and February 2021 were identified. Clinicopathological factors related to disease recurrence were analyzed. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. To determine prognostic factors for DFS, a Cox proportional hazard regression model was used. RESULTS Of 722 patients, 49 (6.8%) experienced disease recurrence (37 pelvis, 1 para-aortic lymph node, and 11 peritoneum). Five-year DFS and OS rates were 90.7% and 98.1%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, risk factors associated with disease recurrence were residual disease in the remaining cervix (OR, 3.122; 95% CI, 1.152-8.461; p = 0.025), intracorporeal colpotomy (OR, 3.252; 95% CI, 1.507-7.017; p = 0.003), and positive resection margin (OR, 3.078; 95% CI, 1.031-9.193; p = 0.044). The non-conization group had a higher percentage of stage IB1 (77.4% vs. 64.6%; p = 0.004) and larger tumor (10 mm vs. 7 mm; p < 0.001) than the conization group. Intracorporeal colpotomy and residual disease in the remaining cervix were independent variables associated with disease recurrence in patients undergoing MIS following conization. CONCLUSION During MIS, patients with cervical cancer ≤2 cm in size can be vulnerable to peritoneal recurrences. Patients diagnosed with invasive cancer through conization often have low-risk pathological features, which may affect their survival outcomes.

Abstract
Background Patients with a biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 and 3 have an increased risk of disease progression to invasive cancer and should be treated with an excisional method. However, after treatment with an excisional method, a high-grade residual lesion may remain in patients with positive surgical margins. We aimed to investigate the risk factors for a residual lesion in patients with a positive surgical margin after cervical cold knife conization. Methods Records of 1008 patients who underwent conization at a tertiary gynecological cancer center were retrospectively reviewed. One hundred and thirteen patients with a positive surgical margin after cold knife conization were included in the study. We have retrospectively analyzed the characteristics of the patients treated with re-conization or hysterectomy. Results Residual disease was identified in 57 (50.4%) patients. The mean age of the patients with residual disease was 42.47 ± 8.75 years. Age greater than 35 years (P = 0.002; OR, 4.926; 95%CI [Confidence Interval] - 1.681-14.441), more than one involved quadrant (P = 0.003; OR, 3.200; 95% CI - 1.466-6.987), and glandular involvement (P = 0.002; OR, 3.348; 95% CI - 1.544-7.263) were risk factors for residual disease. The rate of high-grade lesion positivity in post-conization endocervical biopsy at initial conization was similar between patients with and without residual disease (P = 0.16). The final pathology of the residual disease was microinvasive cancer in four patients (3.5%) and invasive cancer in one patient (0.9%). Conclusion In conclusion, residual disease is found in about half of the patients with a positive surgical margin. In particular, we found that age greater than 35 years, glandular involvement, and more than 1 involved quadrant were associated with the residual disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of the cervix in female sexual functioning is controversial. The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) induces structural changes in the cervix. This study aimed to investigate whether LEEP affected sexual dysfunction in Korean women. METHODS A prospective cohort study enrolled 61 sexually active women with abnormal Papanicolaou smear or cervical punch biopsy results and required LEEP. The patients were assessed before and six to twelve months after LEEP using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and the Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS). RESULTS The prevalence of female sexual dysfunction according to FSFI scores before and after LEEP was 62.5% and 66.7%, respectively. LEEP-related changes in total FSFI and FSDS scores were not significant (P = 0.399 and P = 0.670, respectively). The frequency of sexual dysfunction in the desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain subdomains of the FSFI was not significantly altered by LEEP (P > 0.05). The proportion of women experiencing sexual distress according to FSDS scores did not significantly increase after LEEP (P = 0.687). CONCLUSION A large proportion of women with cervical dysplasia experience sexual dysfunction and distress both before and after LEEP. LEEP itself may be not associated with negative effects on female sexual function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate several factors of persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection following conization in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). METHODS PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were searched from January 1, 1998 to September 10, 2021. Random-effects models for meta-analyses were used and pooled relative risks with 95% confidence intervals were reported. Literature screening, data extraction, and assessment of the risk of bias in the included studies were conducted independently by two researchers. Data analysis was performed with Stata software, version 12.0. RESULTS A total of 28 studies were included in this study. Meta-analysis revealed that surgical margin and residual disease were positively correlated with persistent HPV infection after conization. Compared with patients infected with other types of HPV, CIN patients with HPV 16 had a higher persistent infection rate (OR = 1.967, 95% CI (1.232-3.140), P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS CIN patients who are postmenopausal, have positive surgical margins and residual lesions, and are positive for HPV 16 are prone to persistent HPV infection after conization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine uptake, characteristics, and survival outcome of less-radical fertility-sparing surgery with cervical conization and lymph node evaluation (Cone-LN) in reproductive age patients with early cervical cancer. METHODS This retrospective cohort study examined the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program. The study population included 407 patients aged <50 years with stage IA-IB2 (≤4 cm) cervical cancer who received fertility-sparing surgery from 2004 to 2019. The exposure was fertility-sparing surgery type: Cone-LN (n = 196) or trachelectomy with lymph node evaluation (Trach-LN, n = 211). The main co-outcomes were (i) temporal trends of surgery type, assessed with Cochran-Armitage test, and (ii) clinical and tumor characteristics, assessed with multivariable binary logistic regression model. The secondary outcome was overall survival, assessed with inverse probability of treatment weighting propensity score. RESULTS The number of patients receiving Cone-LN increased from 43.5% in 2004-2007 to 58.4% in 2016-2019 (P-trend = 0.005). Patients receiving conization and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy alone increased from 0% to 14.4% (P-trend < 0.001). In a multivariable analysis, patients in the Cone-LN group were more likely to undergo SLN biopsy (aOR 6.04) compared to those in the Trach-LN group whereas those with adenocarcinoma (aOR 0.49) and T1b tumors (aOR for ≤2 cm 0.21, and aOR for 2.1-4.0 cm 0.10) were less likely to receive Cone-LN. In a propensity score-weighted model, the Cone-LN and Trach-LN groups had comparable overall survival (7-year rates, 98.9% vs 97.8%). Similar associations were observed for patients with squamous, adenocarcinoma / adenosquamous, T1a classification, and T1b(≤2 cm) classification. CONCLUSION The current population-based analysis suggests that the performance of cervical conization with lymph node evaluation, particularly with SLN biopsy, is gradually increasing for early cervical cancer patients desiring future fertility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of conization on survival outcomes and to identify a specific population that might benefit from conization before radical hysterectomy (RH) in patients with early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS From six institutions in Korea, we identified node-negative, margin-negative, parametria-negative, 2009 FIGO stage IB1 cervical cancer patients who underwent primary type C RH between 2006 and 2021. The patients were divided into multiple groups based on tumor size, surgical approach, and histology. We performed a series of independent 1:1 propensity score matching and compared the survival outcomes between the conization and non-conization groups. RESULTS In total, 1254 patients were included: conization (n = 355) and non-conization (n = 899). Among the matched patients with a tumor size of >2 cm, the conization group showed a significantly better 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate compared with the non-conization group when RH was conducted via minimally invasive surgery (MIS), in those with squamous cell carcinoma (96.3% vs. 87.4%, P = 0.007) and non-squamous cell carcinoma (97.0% vs. 74.8%, P = 0.021). However, no difference in DFS was observed between the two groups among the matched patients with a tumor size of ≤2 cm, regardless of surgical approach or histological type. In patients who underwent MIS RH, DFS significantly worsened as the residual tumor size increased (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Cervical conization was associated with a lower recurrence rate in patients with early-stage cervical cancer with a tumor size of >2 cm who underwent primary MIS RH. Cervical conization may be performed prior to MIS RH to minimize the uterine residual tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the clinical efficacy of different vaginal administration on cervical persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection after excisional treatment for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). METHODS Six databases (PubMed, EmBase, Cochrane Central, China Knowledge Network database, China Biomedical Literature Service, and WanFang database) were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of various types of vaginal administration compared to no treatment on persistent HR-HPV infection after HSIL excisional treatment, and comprehensive analysis of the clearance of different drugs on HR-HPV was performed using Bayesian reticulation meta-analysis. RESULTS The study analyzed the efficacy of eight interventions, including Interferon, Baofukang, Paiteling, Bletilla striata Sanhuang Powder, Lactobacilli vaginal capsules, Fuanning + Interferon, Interferon + Lactobacilli vaginal capsules, and Interferon + Baofukang, on the clearance of HR-HPV after excisional treatment through pooling and analyzing data from 52 RCTs. The results of the study demonstrated that Interferon + Lactobacilli vaginal capsules [OR 16.0 (95% CIs 8.1-32.0)], Interferon + Fuanning [OR 16.0 (95% CIs 1.1-52.0)], and Interferon + Baofukang [OR 14.0 (95% CIs 6.8-28.0)] were all found to significantly improve postoperative HR-HPV clearance rates when compared to no treatment. Furthermore, when studies with high-risk bias were excluded, Interferon + Lactobacilli vaginal capsules [OR 8.6 (95% CIs 4.7-19.0)] and Interferon + Baofukang [OR 22.0 (95% CIs 8.7-59.0)] were still found to be positively associated with increased postoperative HR-HPV clearance rate. Additionally, the study´s results also indicate that Interferon + Baofukang was effective in enhancing the postoperative HR-HPV clearance rates, mainly when the studies were restricted to a follow-up period of at least 12 months [OR 9.6 (95% CIs 2.9-34.0)]. However, it is important to note that the majority of the trials (29 out of 52, 51.6%) were rated as moderate to high risk of bias, and the certainty of the evidence was moderate to very low. CONCLUSION The application of various forms of vaginal administration, except for individual use of Lactobacilli vaginal capsules, is more efficacious than no treatment in patients with cervical persistent HR-HPV infection after excisional treatment. However, all of the estimates of the effect size for change in the efficiency of HR-HPV clearance are uncertain. Our confidence in effect estimates and ranking of treatments is low, which needs larger, more rigorous, and longer follow-up RCTs to resolve.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The incidence and clinical course of high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions (CIN 2/3) are age dependent. In CIN 3, the recommended treatment is conization, which increases the risk of cervical insufficiency or premature deliveries. But data concerning spontaneous regression of CIN 3 are rare. METHODS Between 2007 and 2017, we identified 156 women under the age of 25 with CIN 2 (23%) or CIN 3 (77%), who had a consultation and were treated at the Colposcopy Unit, Hospital of Düsseldorf, Germany. This is a retrospective cohort study. These patients had colposcopical follow-ups every 4-6 months. Moreover, we analyzed various parameters to predict regression of cervical lesions in this age group. RESULTS Patients diagnosed with CIN 2 showed regression in 88% (n = 30) and women with CIN 3 had a regression rate of 29% (n = 34). Complete regression was observed in 86.7% of CIN 2 and 47.1% of CIN3. Mean time to regression was 21 M (months) [2-70 M]. 70.9% of the patients were treated by surgery (LEEP) after persistence or progression. We identified several predictors for regression of CIN 2/3 in young women: the regression rate of CIN2 is significantly higher than CIN 3 (p < 0.001). Clearance of HPV infections had significantly higher rates of regression compared to persisting HPV infections (p < 0.001). HPV-vaccinated women showed significantly higher regression rates (p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS These data show that an expectative close follow-up in women with CIN 3 younger than 25 is possible with regression rates of 29% also for CIN 3. Especially in women who were HPV vaccinated and those who cleared their HPV infection. A frequent colposcopical follow-up every 3-4 months is important for CIN 3 and every 6 months for CIN 2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of a LLETZ procedure on p16/Ki-67 dual stain, PAP cytology and HR-HPV test results on cervical cytology samples obtained prior to and 6 months after the procedure. Secondary aims are to assess dependency between test results at the time of follow-up and explore dual stain positivity rates according to known risk factors for persistence/recurrence of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN). STUDY DESIGN Prospective observational cohort study conducted in the Department of Gynaecology at the University Hospitals of Leuven, Belgium. All patients referred for a LLETZ procedure were invited to participate. A cervical cytology sample was obtained just prior to and 6 months after the procedure. Every sample was used for PAP staining (cytology), p16/Ki-67 dual staining (dual stain test, DST) and HR-HPV genotyping. Test results were compared between both timepoints using the McNemar test. Dependency was assessed cross-sectionally at the time of follow-up using a chi-squared test. RESULTS From the 110 participants originally included, 83 attended follow-up (75.5%). Mean duration of follow-up was 187.91 days (SD 21.47) and mean age was 41.4 years (SD 11.08). DST positivity rates were 70.9 and 30.1% prior to and 6 months after the procedure (p < 0.001). HR-HPV testing (positive or negative) and abnormal PAP cytology (evaluated at an ASCUS or worse threshold) showed a similar significant reduction in positivity rates (84.5 vs 42.2% and 72.7 vs 28.9%, respectively, p < 0.001). Results of all three assays showed high dependency at the time of follow-up (DST and PAP, PAP and HR-HPV test, DST and HR-HPV test-p values < 0.001). The highest proportion of positive DST results was seen in patients carrying HPV16 (84.6%), followed by any HR-HPV type (60%), those treated for CIN2 + (27.3%) and those with positive margins on the cone specimen (26.7%). CONCLUSION A LLETZ procedure results in a significant decrease in abnormal DST, PAP cytology and HR-HPV test results in this diverse cohort of patients. The highest proportion of abnormal DST results was seen in patients carrying HR-HPV at the time of follow-up, especially HPV 16.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pathological involvement of cervical conization margins is a risk factor for recurrence, although management of these patients is controversial. We aimed to define risk factors for positive margins and compare recurrence following additional surgical intervention compared to conservative management. METHODS A retrospective study of all conizations at our center between 2010 and 2019. Univariate analysis identified characteristics associated with positive margins. Women were stratified by mode of management comparing three groups (surveillance, repeat conization or hysterectomy) then two groups (surveillance vs. additional surgery). Kaplan Meyer survival curves compared cumulative recurrence stratified by mode of management. Pathological results of subsequent surgical procedures were examined for residual disease. RESULTS Of 448 conizations performed, 131 (29.2%) had positive margins which were associated with menopause, high-grade cytology and endocervical gland involvement. Women who underwent surveillance (n = 45) were more likely to be nulliparous, with low-grade histology and less endocervical gland involvement. Women who underwent hysterectomy (n = 61) were more likely to be postmenopausal and parous. Recurrence did not differ significantly in the three-group (p = 0.073) or two-group model (6.4% vs. 7.1% p = 0.869). Kaplan Meyer survival curves depicting cumulative recurrence did not differ significantly in either model (log rank test p = 0.642 for the three-group model, and p = 0.868 for the two-group model). Residual disease was found in 51.6% of hysterectomy specimens and 52.6% of repeat conizations. CONCLUSION Surveillance is non-inferior to additional surgery in cases with positive conization margins and constitutes a valid option specifically for younger women at risk of future obstetric complications and those susceptible post-hysterectomy complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of healthcare reorganization during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic on Italian colposcopy clinic activities, focusing on cervical excision procedures, follow-ups for conservative management of low-grade lesions, and follow-ups post cervical excision. METHODS Retrospective study conducted in 14 Italian colposcopy clinics. The number and clinical characteristics of cervical excisions, follow-ups for conservative management of low-grade lesions, and follow-ups after cervical excision were compared between the period March 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020 (pre-pandemic) and March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021 (pandemic) with a Poisson regression analysis. RESULTS In the pandemic period, the number of cervical excisions was reduced by 8.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]=-15.6% to -2%; p=0.011). Excisions were less frequently performed in the operating room (-35.1%; 95% CI=-47.6% to -22.6%; p<0.001), the number of patients from spontaneous screening was reduced by -14.0% (95% CI=-23.4% to -4.6%; p=0.003), and the CO2-laser technique was used less frequently (-30%; 95% CI=-45.1% to -15.0%; p<0.001). As compared to the pre-pandemic period, the number of follow-ups for conservative management of low-grade lesions was reduced by -26.7% (95% CI=-39.0% to -14.4%; p<0.001), and the follow-up appointments after cervical excision were reduced by -51.0% (95% CI=-58.1% to -43.9%; p<0.001). CONCLUSION The most significant impact of the healthcare reorganization during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic was on follow-ups after cervical excision. The resumption of disrupted activities should follow a risk-based prioritization, starting from women in follow-up after cervical excision. It is advisable that the trend of performing cervical excision as an outpatient procedure is maintained in the post-pandemic period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To detect factors related to overtreatment with the "Screen-and-treat" approach (S&T) in women with suspicious cervical precancerous lesions. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective observational study of 524 women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) or more severe (HSIL+) in cytology, treated by the Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone (LLETZ): 161 without a previous biopsy (S&T group) and 363 with a previous biopsy (biopsy group) from January 2017 to July 2020. The main outcome was a diagnosis of LLETZ: negative (negative or low-grade squamous intraepithlelial lesion LSIL) or HSIL+. A negative diagnosis was interpreted as "overtreatment." Results were analyzed as a function of the S&T approach (whether previous biopsy or not). Variables were obtained from medical records, and were compared with Chi-square or Fisher's exact test (p, p-value), to estimate the chances of a logistic regression analysis (Odds Ratio, OR, or admitting a Confidence Interval (CI) of 95 %). RESULTS No differences were observed in groups regarding menopausal status, smoking, hormonal contraceptive use, colposcopy findings, LLETZ diagnosis, and recurrence. Comparing biopsy vs S&T groups, the frequency of women over 40 years was 28.4 % vs 39.7 % (p = 0.011), and transformation zone type 3 was 12.2 vs 26.8 % (p < 0.001), respectively. In women managed by S&T, when compared to a LLETZ diagnosis, an HSIL+ result was more frequent in women presenting with TZ 1 (93.1 % TZ1 vs 78.5 % TZ2 vs 73.8 % TZ3, p = 0.008) and in women with abnormal colposcopy (92.9 % abnormal vs 38.1 % negative, p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis found that women with negative colposcopic findings presented a higher risk for negative LLETZ diagnosis (LSIL/Negative final histology) (18.6; 6.18-56.02). CONCLUSIONS No difference was observed in the LLETZ diagnosis in women who did or did not use the S&T approach: it was adequate for women referred by cytological HSIL along with high-grade colposcopic findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the safety between cervical conization (CC) alone and hysterectomy for patients with adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the cervix. METHODS Patients diagnosed with AIS after CC during 2007-2021 were identified by computerized databases at Women's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. A total of 453 AIS patients were divided into 2 groups according to uterus preservation: hysterectomy group (n=300) and CC(s) alone group (n=153). The prevalence of residual disease and disease recurrence was compared between patients treated by CC(s) alone and hysterectomy. The prevalence of residual disease in specimens from women who had a hysterectomy and repeat CC were compared between positive and negative margins of CC. The factors influencing residual disease and disease recurrence were assessed. RESULTS Among 310 specimens from women who had a hysterectomy or repeat CC, the prevalence of residual disease was 50.6% (45/89) for a positive margin and 2.3% (5/221) for a negative margin (p=0.000). Four patients had recurrence of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia in those treated by hysterectomy and one had recurrence of cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia in those treated by CC(s) alone. The prevalence of recurrence was 0.7% (1/153) for CC(s) alone and 1.3% (4/300) for hysterectomy (p=0.431). Hysterectomy did not influence residual disease or disease recurrence. CONCLUSION CC is an efficacious and safe option for patients with AIS of the cervix provided the margin is negative.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the predictors of residual disease in a hysterectomy following a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3. METHODS This retrospective study identified 421 patients with histologically confirmed CIN 3 who underwent LEEP and subsequently had a hysterectomy within 6 months. The clinical data included age, parity, type of transformation zone, cytology results, human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype test, endocervical curettage (ECC), and pathological data of LEEP and hysterectomy were obtained from the medical records. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the variables and the risk of residual disease in the hysterectomy samples. RESULTS 186 (44.18%) patients had residual disease in the hysterectomy specimens. The predictive markers of residual disease following LEEP included positive ECC, positive margin of the samples from LEEP, type II or III transformation zone, HPV16 and HPV18 infection, and other high-risk HPV. HPV-18 positivity (OR, 7.13; 95% CI, 3.49 to 14.56; p < 0.001) and type III transformation zone (OR, 6.37; 95% CI, 2.91 to 13.94; p < 0.001) were the most indicative of residual disease following LEEP. CONCLUSION Positive high-risk HPV, particularly HPV18, positive ECC, the positive margin of specimens from LEEP, and type II or III transformation zone were reliable prognostic markers of residual disease following a LEEP for CIN 3.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We previously reported that preoperative human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16/18 positivity and postoperative high-risk (HR)-HPV test positivity are associated with abnormal postoperative cytology. In this study, we further examined whether preoperative and postoperative HR-HPV genotyping could predict cytological abnormalities and the risk of additional surgery. METHODS Patients who underwent cervical conization at our hospital between July 2009 and June 2018 were enrolled. HPV genotyping was performed preoperatively for all patients with HPV-positive. The association among preoperative and postoperative HR-HPV genotyping results, the cumulative risk of cytological abnormalities, and additional surgery were evaluated. The endpoint approach was used to investigate the cumulative incidence of additional surgery owing to cytological abnormalities, such as low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion positivity and recurrence 2 years after cervical conization. RESULTS Positive and negative histological margins were observed in 21 and 287 of 308 cases, respectively. The cumulative incidence of abnormal cytology and additional surgery was significantly higher in margin-positive cases than that in margin-negative cases. Examination established according to the margin status demonstrated that the postoperative HR-HPV-positive group had a significantly worse prognosis than the HR-HPV-negative group. Additionally, 32 cases, wherein the same genotype detected before and after surgery, demonstrated significantly unfavorable outcomes. Fifteen patients with persistent HPV 16/18 had the worst prognosis than the other types. CONCLUSION Preoperative and postoperative HR-HPV genotype tests were used to predict the cumulative incidence of abnormal cytology and additional surgery. Particularly, patients with suspected persistent HPV type 16/18 infection are at a high recurrence risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of pre-operative conization on disease-free survival (DFS) in early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS In this population-based cohort study we analysed from clinical cancer registries to determine DFS of women with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IA1-IB1 cervical cancer with respect to conization preceding radical hysterectomy performed between January 2010 and December 2015. RESULTS Out of 993 datasets available for the analysis, 235 patients met the inclusion criteria of the current study. The median follow-up was 5.4 years. During the study period, 28 (11.9%) recurrences were observed. All of these occurred in patients with FIGO stage IB1. For further evaluation, patients with FIGO IB1 tumors <2 cm were further analysed and divided into two groups, based on pre-operative conization. Pre-operative conization was associated with a reduced rate of recurrence (p = 0.007), with only three (5.2%) recurrences in this group (CO) compared to 25 recurrences (21.0%) in the group without conization (NCO) preceding radical hysterectomy. DFS was estimated at 79.0% and 94.8% in NCO and CO, respectively (p = 0.008). After adjustment for other prognostic covariates, conization remained a favourable prognostic factor for DFS (HR 0.27; 95% CI 0.08-0.93, p = 0.037). Lymph node involvement was the only unfavourable factor (HR 4.38; 95% CI 1.36-14.14, p = 0.014) in the multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS Pre-operative conization is associated with improved DFS in early-stage cervical cancer independently of the surgical approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pregnancy after conization is associated with a high risk of preterm delivery. However, because risk factors for preterm delivery after conization remain unknown, we conducted a multicenter observational study to investigate risk factors associated with preterm delivery. METHODS We selected patients who had previously undergone conization and reviewed medical records from 18 hospitals in cooperation with Keio University School of Medicine between January 2013 and December 2019. Women were classified as nulliparous and primiparous, and a multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relative contributions of the various maternal risk factors for preterm delivery (i.e. delivery before 37 gestational weeks). RESULTS Among 409 pregnant women after conization, 68 women delivered preterm (17%). The incidence of nulliparity (p = .014) was higher and a history of preterm delivery (p = .0010) was more common in the preterm delivery group than in the term delivery group. Furthermore, the proportion of women diagnosed with adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and cervical cancer in the preterm delivery group was higher than that in the term delivery group (p = .0099 and .0004, respectively). In multiple regression models in nulliparous women, cervical cancer or AIS (Odds ratio [OR]: 4.16, 95% CI: 1.26-13.68, p = .019) and a short cervix in the second trimester (OR: 13.41, 95% CI: 3.88-46.42, p < .0001) increased the risk of preterm delivery. Furthermore, a history of preterm delivery (OR: 7.35, 95% CI: 1.55-34.86, p = .012), cervical cancer or AIS (OR: 5.07, 95% CI: 1.24-20.73, p = .024), and a short cervix in the second trimester (OR: 4.29, 95% CI: 1.11-16.62, p = .035) increased the risk of preterm delivery in the multiple regression models in primiparous women. CONCLUSION Pregnant women who previously underwent conization are at risk for preterm delivery. The histological type of AIS and cervical cancer was evaluated as a risk factor for preterm delivery. KEY MESSAGESPrior preterm delivery, presence of a short cervix, and cervical cancer or AIS were predictors of preterm delivery after conization.The depth of conization in cervical cancer or AIS group was significantly larger than that in the CIN group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In a previous phase II trial, we showed that topical imiquimod (IMQ) therapy is an efficacious treatment for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Aim of the present study was to investigate the non-inferiority of a 16-week topical, self-applied IMQ therapy compared to large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) in patients diagnosed with HSIL. METHODS Phase III randomized, controlled, multicenter, open trial performed by Austrian Gynecologic Oncology group. Patients with histologically proven cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)2 (30 years and older) or CIN3 (18 years and older) and satisfactory colposcopy were randomized to topical IMQ treatment or LLETZ. Successful treatment was defined as negative HPV high-risk test result 6 months after start of the treatment. Secondary endpoints were histological outcome and HPV clearance rates. RESULTS Within 3 years 93 patients were randomized, received the allocated treatment and were available for ITT analysis. In the IMQ group negative HPV test at 6 months after treatment start was observed in 22/51 (43.1%) of patients compared to 27/42 (64.3%) in the LLETZ group on ITT analysis (rate difference 21.2%-points, 95% two-sided CI: 0.8 to 39.1). In the IMQ group histologic regression 6 months after treatment was observed in 32/51 (63%) of patients and complete histologic remission was observed in 19/51 (37%) of patients. Complete surgical resection was observed in 84% after LLETZ. CONCLUSION In women with HSIL, IMQ treatment results in lower HPV clearance rates when compared to LLETZ. LLETZ remains the standard for women with HSIL when treatment is required. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01283763, EudraCT number: 2012-004518-32.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosis of cervical dysplasia and subsequent conization of the uterine cervix might affect women's' sexual health. AIM To assess the effect of cervical conization on women's sexual function and psychological wellbeing. METHODS Patients undergoing conization of the cervix were assessed before, and 6 months after conization. Assessment of sexual distress and function was done using the female sexual distress scale-revised (FSDS-r) and the female sexual function inventory (FSFI), respectively. Risk for anxiety and depression, was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES FSDS-r, FSFI and HADS scores before and after conization RESULTS: From October 2018 to March 2021, 55 patients undergoing cervical conization were recruited. No significant differences were found in FSDS-r scores before and after conization. An equal number of patients indicated having sexual distress (29 patients, 53%, before and after conization, P=1.0). No significant changes were noticed on any FSDS domains or the total FSDS score before and after conization, (26.8 vs. 26.0, p=0.461). The percent of patients that indicated an overall sexual dysfunction, increased from 49 percent before conization, to 59 percent after conization, P=0.388. A high percent of patients indicated signs of anxiety on the HADS questionnaire, both before and after conization (49% and 47%, respectively). The median anxiety and depression scores did not change after conization, p=1.0. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS A high percent of patients undergoing conization suffer from sexual distress, sexual dysfunction and general anxiety, both before and after conization. The conization procedure itself did not seem to effect questionnaire scores. STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS This was a prospective cohort, with comprehensive assessment of female sexual and psychological wellbeing after conization. Not all subjects reported sexual intercourse prior to questionnaire completion. CONCLUSION Gynecologists should be aware of the psychological and sexual effect of the diagnosis and treatment of cervical pre-cancerous lesions, patients should be counselled accordingly.

Abstract
Among the cancers affecting women of all age groups, cervical cancer (CCa) is fourth most prevalent globally. Improved screening programs have aided the early detection of cervical cancer in young women seeking fertility. In this issue of Reproductive Sciences, Tsaousidis et al. retrospectively analyzed the use of large conization (LC) in 23 patients with early-stage CCa (9 stage IA and 14 stage IB). The authors chose 4 different domains to report outcomes of interest: surgical, oncological, fertility, and obstetric. Overall, the authors reported good outcomes after LC with a median follow-up of 58 months. We briefly reviewed the literature for similar studies reporting on fertility-preserving treatments for CCa. In addition, a brief note on the possible role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was added. Future research on fertility-preserving treatment must accurately report inclusion criteria to better delineate the indications for it: good surgical outcomes require good patient selection.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with early-stage cervical cancer who desire future fertility may be candidates for less radical surgery. We review the literature supporting this approach in early-stage disease. RECENT FINDINGS Retrospective data have shown that in carefully selected patients, the risk of parametrial involvement is less than 1%. This has led to interest in moving away from radical surgery towards more conservative approaches. Data from the newly published ConCerv trial, a prospective study evaluating the feasibility of conservative surgery in women with early-stage, low-risk cervical carcinoma, suggest that conservative surgery is feasible and safe in this patient population. Furthermore, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is being assessed as an option to extend fertility-sparing treatment to a larger group of women. Less radical surgery may be appropriate for carefully selected women with early-stage, low-risk cervical cancer, including those desiring future fertility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether cervical conization before radical hysterectomy (RH) has a protective effect on survival outcomes in early cervical cancer, taking into account the surgical approach. METHODS From cervical cancer cohorts of two institutions, we identified node-negative, margin-negative, parametria-negative, 2009 FIGO stage IB1 cervical cancer patients who received primary Type C RH between July 2006 and June 2020. Patients were divided into conization group (n = 144) and control group (n = 434). We conducted three independent 1:1 propensity score matching processes for histology, lymphovascular space invasion, cervical tumor size, and surgical approach (all patients, those who underwent open surgery, and those who underwent minimally invasive surgery [MIS]). Survival outcomes were compared. RESULTS Overall, the conization group had less cervical tumor size and received MIS more frequently (P = 0.010) and adjuvant treatment less often (P = 0.002) versus the controls. After matching, the conization group showed significantly better disease-free survival (DFS) versus control (3-year DFS rate, 94.2% vs. 86.3%; P = 0.012), but similar overall survival. Among the open RH matched patients (n = 96), no difference in DFS was observed between the conization and control groups (P = 0.984). In contrast, among the MIS RH matched patients (n = 192), the conization group showed significantly better DFS versus control (3-year DFS rate, 95.7% vs. 82.9%; P = 0.005). In multivariate analysis adjusting for cervical tumor size and adjuvant treatment, conization was identified as an independent favorable prognostic factor for DFS (adjusted HR, 0.318; 95% CI, 0.134-0.754; P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative cervical conization might reduce the disease recurrence rate in early cervical cancer patients who undergo primary MIS RH.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate potential differences in the frequency of preterm births (PTB) between pregnancies with or without prophylactic cerclage in women with a history of conization. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified women who had their first singleton delivery after conization between 2013 and 2018 using records in the National Health Insurance Service of Korea claims database. We only included women who had undergone a health examination and interview within 2 years before delivery. We used timing of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) tests to differentiate early (before) from late (after the MSAFP test) cerclage. The frequency of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including PTB, preterm labor and premature rupture of membranes, antibiotics and tocolytics use, cesarean delivery, and number of admissions before delivery, were compared. RESULTS A total of 8322 women was included. Compared to the no cerclage group (n=7147), the risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes were higher in the cerclage group (n=1175). After categorizing patients with cerclage into two groups, the risk of PTB was still higher in the early cerclage group than in the no cerclage group after adjusting for baseline factors (4.48%, 30/669 vs. 2.77%, 159/5749, odds ratio 2.42, 95% confidence interval 1.49, 3.92). Other adverse pregnancy outcomes were also more frequent in the early cerclage group than the no cerclage group. CONCLUSION Early cerclage performed before MSAFP testing does not prevent PTB in pregnancy with a history of conization, but increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including PTB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Positive resection margins after conization or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (conization/LEEP) are associated with increased risks of recurrence or residual cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Herein, we investigated the long-term outcomes of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for incomplete excision of CIN3. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 73 patients treated with PDT between 2000 and 2011. Patients who underwent conization/LEEP before PDT within 6 months were included. The primary outcomes were the complete response (CR) rate after 1 year and human papillomavirus (HPV) eradication rate at 6 months after PDT. RESULTS A total of 34 patients with positive resection margins were finally enrolled. The median patient age was 33 years. Carcinoma in situ was diagnosed in 25 patients and CIN3 in 7 patients. The CR rate was 97.1% after 1 year. Except for one case of a persistent disease, there was no recurrence or newly developed disease during the median follow-up of 84 months (range, 12-224 months). The HPV eradication rate of PDT following conization/LEEP after 6 months was 96.9% (31/32). Photosensitivity was identified in five patients and cervical stenosis in one patient. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, PDT could be an effective therapeutic option for patients with a positive resection margin after conization/LEEP for CIN3. It could reduce the residual or recurrence rate of CIN lesions with tolerable adverse events.

Abstract
Background Controversy surrounds whether women with low-risk cytology screening results but a normal colposcopic assessment should have random biopsies taken. The aim of this study was to determine the yield of CIN2+ from one to four cervical biopsies in women with cytology of LSIL or ASCUS and a normal colposcopic impression. Methods Between January 2017 and September 2020, women over 18 years old referred for colposcopic examination due to either an abnormal smear (ASCUS+) or follow-up after previous cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) were invited to participate in the study. All study participants underwent colposcopic examination and had four biopsies taken. The biopsies were analyzed separately. Results In total, 1327 women with abnormal cervical cancer screening results or attending follow-up after a previous CIN diagnosis were enrolled in the study and examined by colposcopy. Of these, 173 were newly referred with cytology of LSIL or ASCUS and had a normal colposcopic impression and four adequate biopsies. Of these, 22.0% were diagnosed with CIN2+. When combining the results of the four biopsies, we found a 100% relative increase in CIN2+ cases compared to using only one biopsy (from 11.0% to 22.0%, P = 0.006). Conclusion As we found CIN2+ from random cervical biopsies in 22.0% of women with cytology of LSIL or ASCUS who had a normal colposcopic impression, we advocate performing four random cervical biopsies at the squamocolumnar junction in such women. Trial registration NCT04249856, January 31 2020 (retrospectively registered).

Abstract
Since the introduction of human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination, the number of precancerous lesions has decreased in countries with a high HPV vaccination coverage. Currently women who present with a precancerous cervical lesions (CIN2 + ), are often not vaccinated or not vaccinated with the latest vaccine. Although resection of the precancerous lesion is the standard approach, the guidelines regarding vaccination are not clear. Vaccination will be valuable in reducing the risk of recurrence. Therefore, it is beneficial to understand the importance of vaccination or revaccination with the nonavalent vaccine in these cases. Furthermore, the timing of vaccination, either before or after surgery, should be determined. To answer these questions, twelve studies regarding vaccination and conization were reviewed. The inconsistency of study designs and inclusion criteria between the different studies introduced a considerable risk of bias. Nevertheless, the analysis showed that 43 women needed to be vaccinated and treated for CIN2 + lesions to prevent a recurrence. The ideal timing could not be established, but theoretically vaccination before the start of treatment was most logic. Although the data is not level 1 evidence, these recommendations should be used during counseling in the clinical setting until results of ongoing randomized controlled trials become available.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate risk factors associated with the persistence of human papillomavirus (HPV) after cervical excision in patients with high-grade squamous intra-epithelial neoplasia (HSIL). METHODS A retrospective cohort study enrolled 550 patients who underwent cervical excision for HSIL between January 2015 and January 2018. The effects of various factors were assessed using univariate and multi-variate analyses. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 42.6 [standard deviation (SD) 8.7, range 22-64] years, and the mean duration of follow-up was 29.0 (SD 4.8, range 24-36) months. Persistent HPV infection after cone excision was detected in 78 (14.2%) patients. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that advanced age (>35 years), menopausal status, HPV type (HPV16/18), abnormal vaginal micro-ecological morphology, type of excision (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) and positive margin were closely associated with the persistence of HPV. Multi-variate analysis indicated that menopausal status [odds ratio (OR) 4.708, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.770-8.001; p < 0.001], abnormal vaginal micro-ecological morphology (OR 2.320, 95% CI 1.372-3.922; p = 0.002) and positive margin (OR 3.346, 95% CI 1.261-8.876; p = 0.015) were significant risk factors for the persistence of HPV after treatment. Furthermore, infection with HPV16/18 increased the risk of persistent infection, and a higher rate of HPV persistence was found in patients who were infected with HPV18 (OR 1.020, 95% CI 0.415-2.505) or co-infected with HPV16/18 (OR 2.064, 95% CI 0.272-2.041) compared with HPV16. CONCLUSION Persistent HPV infection after surgical treatment for HSIL is considered to be strictly related to the recurrence and progression of disease. Patients who are at increased risk of HPV persistence should receive intensive follow-up after surgery, especially in the first year.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Persistence of HPV infection in patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) undergoing cervical excision is considered strongly associated with the recurrence and progression of cervical dysplasia. This study aims to review potential risk factors for persistence of HPV infection in patients with HSIL, thus optimizing the postoperative monitoring program and clinical treatment. METHODS Through literature review, published data about estimated prognostic risk factors for persistence of HPV infection in patients with HSIL after conization within two decades were searched and analyzed, and their references were manually reviewed as well. RESULTS Women with persistence of HPV infection after cervical excision were at an extremely high risk of disease recurrence and progression to cervical cancer. Some clinicopathological and even physiological elements involving viral, organic human body and treatment factors, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) 16, high viral load, age older than 50 years and positive surgical margin were of prognostic significance in persistent HPV infection in patients with HSIL, yet some of which still remained controversial. CONCLUSIONS Monitoring prognostic factors in women with persistence of HPV infection who have underwent cervical excision for HSIL are of great significance, especially the follow-up within 2 years postoperatively, which significantly improves the clinical outcome.

Abstract
A 34-year-old lady, with three previous spontaneous vaginal deliveries, presented in labor at 37 + 0 weeks’ gestation. Following the birth of her third child, she underwent a laser cone biopsy for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 3. Despite sustained regular contractions and augmentation with Syntocinon, progressive cervical dilatation beyond 1 cm failed to occur in this multiparous lady. A delayed diagnosis of cervical stenosis was made. She eventually underwent a cesarean section where her internal cervical os was found to be thin and fibrotic. This case describes an uncommon occurrence of cervical stenosis presenting in labor and seeks to increase awareness of this condition so as to allow preemptive counselling of similar patients, early recognition in a labor with poor progress and a swift, better-informed decision to deliver via an emergency cesarean section. We review the existing literature on cervical stenosis following cervical conization and analyze the various definitions available.

Abstract
Introduction MRI is very accurate in selecting young women with cervical cancer for fertility-sparing surgery (FSS), in particular radical hysterectomy (RH). In order to improve obstetrical outcomes, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by cold knife conization (CKC) has been proposed as alternative technique. Objective To investigate the role of MRI in evaluation of response to treatment after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), followed by CKC, in patients with cervical cancer FIGO stage IB2-IIA1 with tumor size 2 – 4 cm, desiring to preserve their fertility. Methods 13 young women (23–36 years old) with cervical cancer stage IB2-IIA1 desiring to preserve their fertility were included. Tumor diameter at baseline and after treatment was detected on 1.5 T MRI. Treatment response was assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) and then compared to histopathology result. Results MRI correctly assessed 11 out of 13 cases, according to RECIST 1.1, compared to histopathology. Among these 7 patients with partial response (PR), 2 cases of CR, 1 SD and 1 PD with persistence or enlargement of primary tumor. Conclusion Our pilot study supports the usefulness of MRI in assessment of treatment response after NACT, followed by CKC. Trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02323841

Abstract
Background The effectiveness of surgery of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion in post-menopausal women needs to be investigated. This study evaluated the clinical significance of cold-knife conization in the diagnosis and surgery of cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions in post-menopausal women. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of post- and pre-menopausal patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. All patients received cold-knife conization as the primary therapy. Results The satisfactory rate of colposcopy was significantly lower in the post-menopausal group than in the pre-menopausal group (38.33 vs. 71.25%; χ2 = 36.202, P < 0.001). The overall positive margin rate of cold-knife conization (25.83 vs 12.50%; χ2 = 10.106, P = 0.001) and rate of positive endocervical cone margins (16.67 vs. 4.58%; χ2 = 14.843, P < 0.001) were significantly higher in the post-menopausal group. Moreover, 49 post- and 60 pre-menopausal women underwent subsequent surgical treatment (40.83 vs. 25.00%). Residual rate of positive and negative margins in patients before and after menopause was significantly different (χ2 = 5.711, P = 0.017; χ2 = 12.726, P < 0.001, respectively). The recurrence rate in post-menopausal women remained 3.85%. Conclusions Cold-knife conization can be performed as a primary procedure for diagnosis and surgery of post-menopausal patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. Sufficient deep excisions are necessary to avoid positive endocervical margins, which can reduce the residual and recurrence of postoperative lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of high-risk (HR) HPV-positive and -negative women affected by high-grade cervical dysplasia. METHODS This is a retrospective multi-institutional study. Medical records of consecutive patients with high-grade cervical dysplasia undergoing conization between 2010 and 2014 were retrieved. All patients included had at least 5 years of follow-up. A propensity-score matching was adopted in order to reduce the presence of confounding factors between groups. Kaplan-Meir and Cox hazard models were used to estimate 5-year outcomes. RESULTS Overall, data of 2966 women, affected by high-grade cervical dysplasia were reviewed. The study population included 1478 (85%) and 260 (15%) women affected by HR-HPV-positive and HR-HPV-negative high-grade cervical dysplasia. The prevalence of CIN2 and CIN3 among the HR-HPV-positive and -negative cohort was similar (p = 0.315). Patients with HR-HPV-positive high-grade cervical dysplasia were at higher risk of 5-year recurrence (after primary conization) that HR-HPV-negative patients (p < 0.001, log-rank test). Via multivariate analysis, HR-HPV-negative women were at low risk of recurrence (HR: 1.69 (95%CI: 1.05, 4.80); p = 0.018, Cox Hazard model). A propensity-score matched comparison was carried out in order to reduce biases that are related to the retrospective study design. In comparison to HR-HPV-negative patients, thosewith HR-HPV-positive CIN3 was associate with a 8-fold increase in the risk of recurrence (p < 0.001, log-rank test). CONCLUSIONS HR-HPV-negative high-grade cervical dysplasia is not uncommon, accounting for 15% of our study population. Those patients experience more favorable outcomes than patients with documented HR-HPV infection(s). Further prospective studies are needed to corroborate our data.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ever since the recent findings showing the lack of benefit of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) versus open surgery in early-stage cervical cancer, gynecologists have tried to explain these results. The primary objective of our study was to assess the impact of pre-operative conization on disease-free survival (DFS) in early-stage cervical cancer. The secondary objective was to analyze the peri-operative morbidity associated with a pre-operative conization. METHODS All patients undergoing a surgical management for early-stage squamous carcinoma or adenocarcinoma cervical cancer (IA1, IA2, IB1 and IB2 FIGO 2018) at a French university hospital from 2004 to 2018 were retrospectively included. We examined the association between conization and DFS using a Cox regression model. We also analyzed the morbidity associated with pre-operative conization. RESULTS 48.4% (44/91) of the patients had a pre-operative conization (defined by a conization up to 90 days prior to surgery). 86.8% underwent MIS. There was a non-significant increase in the DFS with one patient presenting a recurrence in the conization group (2.3%) and six (12.8%) in the no conization group (log rank = 0.09). In univariate analysis, conization, definitive FIGO stage and pre-operative tumor size were associated with DFS (p < 0.2). Only pre-operative tumor size was significantly associated with DFS in multivariate analysis. There was a non-significant increase of adverse events in the conization group (43.2% in the conization group versus 23.4%, p = 0.06). CONCLUSION Conization, through a reduction of tumor size, could improve DFS. Carefully selected patients could still benefit from minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract
In high income setting, the massive implementation of screening programs has reduced the incidence of cervical cancer, dramatically. However, cervical cancer still remains a major health concern, being one of the most common cause of death for cancer among women. The adoption of primary prevention through vaccination against HPV aims to reduce the prevalence of HPV-related lesions and cervical cancer. Accumulating data highlighted the cost-effectiveness of introducing HPV vaccination for adolescent and young adults. In the present review, we critically evaluated the role of vaccination against HPV, focusing much more on the role of vaccination in specific cluster of subjects (eg, post-treatment and older adults). Additionally, we evaluated the available evidence on the role of vaccination in HIV-positive subjects and in women receiving solid organs transplantation. We observed that although vaccination might be considered effective in those cluster of subjects; further evidence is needed to assess the cost-effectiveness of vaccination in these settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the factors associated with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) persistence in women undergoing cervical excision for pre-invasive lesions, after they have been referred from a primary HPV screening program. METHODS A retrospective study design involving patients who were treated at a Cervical Disease Screening and Treatment Unit, in a university hospital setting. After initial treatment, cervical HPV infection status was analyzed at the sixth month, first year and then subsequently after the second year. RESULTS Totally, 395 patients who were diagnosed with pre-invasive cervical lesions and who subsequently undergone cervical excision were identified. In the first-year visit after cervical excision, HPV 18 was cleared in almost all (95.8%) cases, followed by HPV 16 (69.9%) and other hrHPV types (65.6%). Available data documented that 88.6% of women reached clearance after the two-year follow-up. Univariate analysis revealed a significantly higher proportion of HPV clearance among women who were younger (p = 0.019), premenopausal (p = 0.002), and who had been found to have a negative cytology result on their initial Pap test (p = 0.018). However, only cervical cytology result remained as the independent predictor of HPV persistence on a multivariate logistic regression (OR 0.43; 95% CI 0.21-0.87; p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS A low risk of HPV persistence was found among every HPV genotype in women undergoing cervical excision for pre-invasive cervical lesions. Initial cervical cytology result was the only independent predictor of HPV clearance during surveillance, which indicates the prognostic value of Pap test in primary HPV screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Conization aims to remove pre-neoplastic lesions of the uterine cervix. Several techniques for conization have been compared, but evidence regarding the most effective therapeutic option is scant. Here, we aimed to compare the recurrence rate following laser conization and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in patients with high-grade cervical dysplasia (HSIL/CIN2+). METHODS This is a retrospective multi-institutional study. Medical records of consecutive patients with HSIL/CIN2+ undergoing conization between 2010 and 2014 were retrieved. A propensity-score matching (PSM) was applied in order to reduce allocation bias. The risk of developing recurrence was estimated using Kaplan-Meir and Cox hazard models. RESULTS Overall, 2966 patients had conization over the study period, including 567 (20%) and 2399 (80%) patients having laser conization and LEEP, respectively. Looking at predictors of recurrence, diagnosis of CIN3 (HR:3.80 (95%CI:2.01,7.21); p < 0.001) and HPV persistence (HR:1.81 (95%CI:1.11,2.96); p < 0.001) correlated with an increased risk of recurrence. After applying a PSM we selected 500 patients undergoing laser conization and 1000 undergoing LEEP. Patients undergoing LEEP were at higher risk of having positive surgical margins in comparison to patients undergoing laser conization (11.2% vs. 4.2%). The risk of having persistence of HPV was similar between the two groups (15.0% vs. 11.6%;p = 0.256). Five-year recurrence rate was 8.1% and 4% after LEEP and laser conization, respectively (p = 0.023). HPV persistence was the only factor associated with [5-]year recurrence after both laser conization (p = 0.003) and LEEP (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS HPV persistence is the only factor associated with an increased risk of recurrence after either laser conization or LEEP. Owing to the lack of data regarding obstetrical outcomes, we are not able to assess the best therapeutic option for women with cervical dysplasia.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to identify predictors of recurrence/persistence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2+ (CIN2+) lesion (r-CIN2+) after primary conization. Methods Retrospective analysis involving all consecutive women having conization for CIN2+ between 1998 and 2018. The risk of r-CIN2+ was assessed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox models. Results Data of 3,212 women were retrospectively identified. After a mean follow-up of 47 (±22.2) months, 112 (3.5%) patients developed r-CIN2+. Mean time interval between prior conization and diagnosis of r-CIN2+ was 26.2 (±13.2) months. Via multivariate analysis, presence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) types at the time of CIN2+ diagnosis, hazard ratio (HR)=3.40 (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.66–6.95) for HPV16/18 and HR=2.59 (95% CI=1.21–5.55) for HPV types other than 16/18, positive margins at primary conization, HR=4.11 (95% CI=2.04–8.26) and HPV persistence after conization, HR=16.69 (95% CI=8.20–33.9), correlated with r-CIN2+, independently. Considering age-specific HPV types distribution, we observed that HPV16/18 infection correlated to an increased risk of r-CIN2+ only in young women (aged ≤25 years; p=0.031, log-rank test); while in the older population (>25 years) HPV type(s) involved had not impact on r-CIN2+ risk (p>0.200, log-rank test). Conclusion HPV persistence is the main factor predicting r-CIN2+. Infection from HPV16/18 has a detrimental effect in young women, thus highlighting the need of implementing vaccination against HPV in this population. Further prospective studies are warranted for tailoring clinical decision-making for post-conization follow-up on the basis of risk factors.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the techniques for cone measurement with ultrasound to determine the size of the resected tissue and to evaluate parameters which may be relevant for stratifying women at risk who need surveillance when pregnant. Methods The present study included women with a pathological cervical biopsy. Cervical length and volume were determined by transvaginal ultrasound prior to conization. The pathologist measured the volume of the removed tissue by the fluid displacement technique and using a ruler. A repeat transvaginal ultrasound was performed during a follow-up visit. Factors affecting cone volume as well as the correlation between measurement techniques were analyzed. Results A total of 28 patients underwent cervical excision treatment. The mean cervical volumes measured sonographically before and after the operation were 17.72 ± 7.34 and 13.21 ± 5.43 cm3, respectively. The proportion of volume excised was 25.50 ± 17.43%. A significant correlation was found between the cone depth and the cone volume measured by the fluid displacement technique, and histopathologically and sonographically measured difference in cervical volume. The interobserver reliability coefficient was > 0.9. Analyzing influential parameters, only age affected the extent of cone volume and the correlation between the three measurement techniques. Conclusion Commonly applied techniques of cervical and cone measurement are equivalent and interchangeable. Our ultrasound data show variety in the volume and length of the cervix, and in the proportion of the volume excised at conization. Ultrasound measurements may help the surgeon to estimate not only the dimension of the remaining cervix but also its function.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic risk factors for type-specific persistence of high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) and residual/recurrent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) after surgical treatment. Methods Patients with CIN-2/3 who underwent conization or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) at Korea University Hospital were enrolled. All patients underwent hrHPV testing and genotyping before conization or LEEP followed by both hrHPV genotyping and cytology. The significance of associations between patient characteristics and persistence of infection were assessed by multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results Among 398 women with pathologically confirmed CIN-2/3, 154 (38.7%) patients showed hrHPV persistence after surgical treatment. In multivariate analysis, high preoperative hrHPV load (P<0.05; odds ratio [OR], 2.063), presence of CIN-2 at treatment (P<0.01; OR, 2.732), and multiple hrHPV infections (P<0.001; OR, 4.752) were associated with hrHPV persistence. HPV 53 was the most likely to persist after treatment (24/43, 55.8%). The risk of residual/recurrent CIN-2/3 was higher in persistent infection with HPV 16 than other types (P<0.05). Menopause (P<0.001; OR, 3.969), preoperative and postoperative hrHPV load (P<0.05; OR, 2.430; P<0.05; OR, 5.351), and infection with multiple hrHPV types (P<0.05; OR, 2.345) were significantly related to residual/recurrent CIN following surgical treatment. Conclusion HPV load before treatment and infection with multiple hrHPV types were predictors of postoperative hrHPV persistence. HPV 53 was the type most likely to persist, but HPV 16 was the type that was most closely associated with residual/recurrent CIN-2/3.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility of cervical conization and laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy as a fertility-sparing surgery to treat early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis from a prospectively maintained database of patients with stage IA1-IB1 grossly invisible cervical cancers undergoing conization plus laparoscopic lymphadenectomy between January 2014 and July 2019. RESULTS Forty patients were identified. Five patients (12.5%) had stage IA1 with lymphovascular space invasion, 21 (52.5%) had stage IA2, and 14 (35.0%) had stage IB1. All of the patients had tumors <2 cm. Histology included 35 (87.5%) squamous-cell carcinomas, three (7.5%) adenocarcinomas, and two (5.0%) adenosquamous carcinomas. Median duration of the procedure was 105 min (range, 31-219), and the median estimated blood loss was 50 ml (range, 30-200). One patient received abdominal radical trachelectomy due to the presence of positive margin after conization. Three patients developed postoperative cervical stenosis. After a median follow-up of 35 months (range, 8-74), only one patient (2.5%) developed a recurrence in the remaining cervix, and no patients died. Four of 17 patients attempting to conceive had a spontaneous pregnancy: three delivered at term and one was currently pregnant. CONCLUSION Cervical conization and pelvic lymphadenectomy seems to be an acceptable treatment for well-selected patients with low-risk, early-stage cervical cancer who wish to preserve fertility. It offers excellent oncologic outcomes, low perioperative morbidities, and good reproductive results. Further large prospective studies are warranted to prove the effectiveness of this surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have shown associations between independent pre-conization variables (e.g. smoking, age, cytological grade, menopause) and positive or negative cone margins. However, it is not clear if these pre-surgical variables add predictive value to cone dimensions in the prediction of cone margin status. This study aimed to compare different models predicting positive ecto- or endocervical margins to assess whether pre-conization variables provide significant added value compared with cone dimensions alone. STUDY DESIGN One hundred and sixty-one consecutive women with high-grade cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia on cone specimens were analysed retrospectively. The sample was divided into women with positive ecto- or endocervical cone margins and women with negative ecto- or endocervical cone margins. Pre-conization clinical features, cone volume and cone length were included among the study variables. Multivariate stepwise regression analysis was used to create different models predicting incomplete cervical excision. The added value of pre-conization predictors was measured with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve comparisons. RESULTS Fifty-seven (35.4 %) women had incomplete cervical excision. Multivariate analysis showed that a positive ectocervical margin was significantly associated with low-grade cervical cytology [odds ratio (OR) = 0.25, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.09-0.70] and cone length (OR = 0.69, 95 % CI 0.58-0.82, criterion <9 mm). The area under the curve (AUC) of the combined model for prediction of a positive ectocervical margin was 0.78 (95 % CI 0.70-0.84, p < 0.001). A positive endocervical margin was associated with cone length (OR=0.78, 95 % CI 0.65-0.93, criterion <9 mm) and age (OR=1.07, 95 % CI 1.02-1.11, criterion ≥45 years). The AUC of the combined model for prediction of positive endocervical margin was 0.75 (95 % CI 0.66-0.82, p < 0.001). Comparison of ROC curves showed that the addition of pre-conization variables to cone length did not yield significant predictive results for either ecto- or endocervical cone margins (p = 0.228 and 0.349, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The addition of pre-conization clinical variables to cone dimensions did not improve the prediction of cone margin status significantly in the study cohort. Among cone dimensions, cone length was the best predictor of come margin status.

Abstract
The 20-year experience with large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) at Gynecologic Oncology Unit, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital Centre from Zagreb is presented. This retrospective observational study included 1407 women with cervical dysplasia treated by LLETZ technique during the 1995-2016 period. LLETZ was most commonly performed in the 25-35 age group (51%), followed by the 36-45 age group (22%), and least frequently in the >65 age group (2%). Histopathologic results lower than high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion were found in 23% and high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or worse findings in 77% of patients. Positive margin as a sign of possible residual dysplasia was found in 25% of cones, 80% of which included endocervical positive margin. Cervical canal biopsy result was positive in 18% of cases. Accurate colposcopy and its findings can help avoid overtreatment, the rate of which was higher than expected in our retrospective study. Long-term follow up is an imperative for proper assessment of the procedure success. This method is the best choice for complete disease removal without unnecessary overtreatment, but it requires continuous education and training of the whole team.

Abstract
Objective To investigate pathologic discrepancies between colposcopy-directed biopsy (CDB) of the cervix and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) in women with cytologic high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs). Methods We retrospectively identified 297 patients who underwent both CDB and LEEP for HSILs in cervical cytology between 2015 and 2018, and compared their pathologic results. Considering the LEEP to be the gold standard, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of CDB for identifying cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grades 2 and 3, adenocarcinoma in situ, and cancer (HSIL+). We also performed age subgroup analyses. Results Among the study population, 90.9% (270/297) had pathologic HSIL+ using the LEEP. The diagnostic performance of CDB for identifying HSIL+ was as follows: sensitivity, 87.8%; specificity, 59.3%; balanced accuracy, 73.6%; positive predictive value, 95.6%; and negative predictive value, 32.7%. Thirty-three false negative cases of CDB included CIN2,3 (n=29) and cervical cancer (n=4). The pathologic HSIL+ rate in patients with HSIL− by CDB was 67.3% (33/49). CDB exhibited a significant difference in the diagnosis of HSIL+ compared to LEEP in all patients (p<0.001). In age subgroup analyses, age groups <35 years and 35–50 years showed good agreement with the entire data set (p=0.496 and p=0.406, respectively), while age group ≥50 years did not (p=0.036). Conclusion A significant pathologic discrepancy was observed between CDB and LEEP results in women with cytologic HSILs. The diagnostic inaccuracy of CDB increased in those ≥50 years of age.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the performance of colposcopy and investigate the diagnosis and treatment characteristics of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) diagnosed by cervical tissue sampling in post-menopausal women. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 1 449 patients with HSIL diagnosed by cervical tissue sampling under colposcopy and treated by loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) or extrafascial hysterectomy as the primary therapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from November 2015 to October 2017. In order to investigate the diagnosis and treatment of HSIL in post-menopausal women, a case-control study was conducted to compare the difference in performance of colposcopy and treatment modality between 213 post-menopausal patients (14.7%, 213/1 449) and 1 236 pre-menopausal patients (85.3%, 1 236/1 449). Results: (1)The proportion of cases pathologically upgraded to cervical cancer was significantly greater in post-menopausal patients (9.4%, 20/213) compared with pre-menopausal patients (3.8%, 47/1 236; P<0.05). (2) The proportion of ≥HSIL diagnosed by colposcopy showed no significant difference between post-menopausal patients (76.1%, 162/213) and pre-menopausal patients (78.2%, 967/1 236; P=0.479). The proportion of type Ⅲ transformation zone (TZ) was significantly greater in post-menopausal patients (91.1%, 194/213) compared with pre-menopausal patients (59.1%, 731/1 236; P<0.05). The rate of missed diagnosis of cervical cancer was significantly higher in type Ⅲ TZ (6.4%, 59/925) compared with type Ⅰ and(or) Ⅱ TZ (1.5%, 8/524; P<0.05). The proportion of HSIL detected by endocervical curettage alone was greater in post-menopausal patients (9.9%, 21/213) compared with pre-menopausal patients (2.6%, 32/1 236; P<0.05). (3)Initial treatment with LEEP: the positive rate of endocervical margin was significantly greater in post-menopausal patients (20.5%, 36/176) compared with pre-menopausal patients (10.5%, 130/1 236;P<0.05); in patients who were diagnosed as HSIL after LEEP, the positive rate of endocervical margin and the residual rate were both greater in post-menopausal patients compared with pre-menopausal patients [15.4% (25/162) versus 8.8% (105/1 189), P=0.008; 52.0% (13/25) versus 26.7% (28/105), P=0.014]. (4)Thirty-seven post-menopausal patients were treated by extrafascial hysterectomy as the primary therapy, 5 cases (13.5%, 5/37) were diagnosed as cervical cancer (stage Ⅰa1) after the surgery. Conclusions: (1) The lesions of HSIL in post-menopausal patients still have definite features under colposcopy as same as pre-menopausal patients. Endocervical curettage could help detect more HSIL in post-menopausal patients. Compared with pre-menopausal patients, post-menopausal HSIL patients have an increased risk of cervical cancer and are more likely missed by cervical tissue sampling. (2) LEEP has the dual effects of diagnosis and treatment, and is still the recommended treatment for post-menopausal HSIL patients. However, the increase in positive rate of endocervical margin and residual rate requires further active intervention. (3) Considering those post-menopausal HSIL patients who cannot accept conization as the initial treatment, the selection of hysterectomy type requires more thorough study.

Abstract
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is commonly performed for the management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Although LEEP is considered to be a relatively simple procedure, several unexpected complications have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report a case of hemoperitoneum caused by uterine perforation following LEEP. Blood collection in pelvic cavity and two small defects of the uterus were confirmed by diagnostic laparoscopy. The defects were sutured and the patient recovered well after the operation.
