Yes, I would agree--she needs LEEP vs. conization--your choice.

Have a 50 yr old postmenopausal clinic pt that I inherited when I took over as managing gynecologist in March. Over the last 4 years she has had recurrent Ascus smears, with positive high risk HPV screen. A couple of years ago she did have a single Bx of CIN 1. Subsequent smears done every 4-6 months remain Ascus/ HRHPV pos. Colposcopy repeatedly neg for exocervical lesions. ECC not possible because of total cervical stenosis. No atypical glandular cells ever encountered. Clinic NP's and OB/GYN Director concerned that cervical canal not adequately assessed . They are inclined to proceed with LEEP/ cone bx. Apppreciate your comments.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
