What is a Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP)?
The Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) is a medical procedure used to remove abnormal or precancerous cells from the cervix. It utilizes a thin, low-voltage electrified wire loop to cut away a small section of the cervical tissue. This procedure is commonly used to treat cervical dysplasia, a condition where abnormal cells are found on the surface of the cervix, which can potentially develop into cervical cancer.
