Abstract |
Purpose |
A surgical technique was developed in the past by our group to reduce the rate of inadvertent complications. It was then seemed that it also increased the rate of complete lesion excision. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a cervical traction suture technique in increasing the prevalence of complete lesion excisions and reducing the incidence of unintended injuries to adjacent tissues during large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ).
Basic procedures |
A retrospective cohort study, including all consecutive patients who underwent LLETZ between January 2016 and June 2018, at the outpatient Colposcopy clinic of a general hospital in Galilee Medical Center. We divided patients into two groups based on whether their LLETZ utilized the cervical traction suture technique. We compared these two groups using an independent-samples t test, and we compared the study-specific proportions to those reported in the literature using the proportion test.
Main findings |
A total of 66 patients were included in the analysis; 33 had undergone LLETZ with a traction suture, and 33 had undergone LLETZ without a traction suture. The prevalence of complete lesion excision was 93.3 % among patients undergoing LLETZ with a traction suture and 72.7 % among those without a traction suture (p = 0.04). The incidence of unintentional injuries to adjacent organs was 12.1 % in women with a traction suture and 18.2 % in women without a traction suture (p = 0.73).
Principal conclusions |
Using a cervical traction suture along with LLETZ can increase the rate of complete lesion excision and may reduce the prevalence of unintended injuries.
