LEEP is an acronym for loop electrosurgical excision procedure. A LEEP uses an electrically charged wire loop to remove abnormal cervical tissue. It is done under local anesthesia and normally on an outpatient basis in hospitals or in a doctor's office. During a LEEP: the doctor inserts a speculum into the vagina.
Probably the most concerning complications from the LEEP procedure are late-occurring ones, such as cervical stenosis and cervical insufficiency. Cervical stenosis after LEEP has been reported to be between 4.3-7.7% [5, 6, 7, 8] LEEP as a cause of cervical insufficiency remains controversial. A recent meta-analysis of 20 studies showed no increase in perinatal mortality, preterm delivery less than 28 weeks.
