Colposcopy and Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure: A Simulated Exercise.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 is associated with a high degree of progression to cervical cancer. Its risk is markedly reduced after excisional treatment.

Methods

Learners were obstetrics and gynecology residents. Guidelines on performance of colposcopy and LEEP were presented prior to module participation. We used pelvic task trainers, kielbasa sausages, and routine equipment for performance of colposcopy and LEEP. Colposcopy and LEEP sessions each lasted 30 minutes. Learners completed questionnaires before and after regarding co
