Leep Excision/Conization

Hi,

I'm scheduled for Leep Excision for severe dysplasia. At the same time of my biopsy (which diagnosed the dysplasia) the doctor did something called an ECC. She told me that the results of this test were fine.

I have a few questions.

* What is an ECC and what was the doctor looking for? Will this be a test that I will need to have on a regular basis now? * I have also been researching LEEP on the Internet and keep finding info about LEEP conization. Is that the same as LEEP excision. My doctor said the lesion was on the surface and that she was just going to scrape it off. But from what I have been reading, it sounds like sometimes the Leep is used to take off 50% of the Cervix. I'm having a hard time understanding this.

Thanks,

--
Ann
