There are wide LEEP's and there are deep LEEP's. If the ectocervix is neg to colpo, then why wide..just do deep to get above the SCJ. "Big LEEP's can be dangerous. Several years ago I had such a pt. Persitent abnormal smear after second, deep cone. Only at hyst did we finally find the invasivew sq cell ca. Rember, the biggest percentage of AGUS smears still have squamous lesions, not glandular.

The patient below had a negative/inadequate colposcopy (well, unable to see SCJ, but nothing at all seen), a negative ECC, and negative endo biopsy.

She is terrified and the plan is to go to the OR for a LEEP, ECC, and hysteroscopy/curettage.

The 3 gyn oncs I've spoken with (happened to run into them)have 2 opinions--two say TAH now, one says repeat the pap in 4 months, as the AGUS was relative close to the last LEEP.

So. . .we're going to the OR.

In what order would you do things? Since there is no lesion to see on microscopy of the cervix, I was favoring prepping normally, doing a big LEEP, ECC, then H-scope.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit.
