Research Notes on LEEP Procedure
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is a surgical method of removing tissue from the cervix using a fine loop of wire. The wire is heated with an electric current until it is extremely hot and can cut through tissue. LEEP can be used to take a sample of tissue for a biopsy and diagnosis or to remove tissue in a treatment procedure..
