Impact of Anaesthesia Mode on Evaluation of LEEP Specimen Dimensions (LEEP-DIM)

Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens

Status: Completed

Conditions: Anesthesia

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT03737526

PI2017_843_0050

Details and patient eligibility

About

To study the influence of anaesthesia (local by cervical block vs. general or spinal anaesthesia) on height and volume of resection specimens in case of conization treatment for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).

Prospective observational study of all patients who underwent a first treatment by loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) for CIN. Height of fresh resection specimens was first measured by the operator and then by the pathologist after formaldehyde fixation. Volume of fresh specimens was measured in a measuring cylinder by fluid displacement.

Full description

Measure of conization specimens can be done in the operating theatre on fresh specimen or by pathologist after fixation. Methods and conditions of specimen measurement are rarely, if ever, described in published studies.
