Anesthesia on Postoperative Pain After Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure

NCT04984122 NA COMPLETED

The loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is a modified cervical conization that is performed with an electrosurgical loop. It may be performed under local anesthesia (LA) or under general anesthesia (GA), and practice patterns differ widely. In some countries, specific guidelines for the choice of anesthesia during LEEP are provided, whereas, in other countries, the choice of anesthesia is not specified. LEEP under LA is more economical, obviating the need for anesthesia staff, equipment, and operating room fees. However, LEEP under LA may be more difficult to perform, may be more difficult to learn, may lead to inferior surgical results, and may result in more pain and patient dissatisfaction. This study aimed to compare loop electrosurgical excision procedures under local anesthesia vs general anesthesia regarding patients' satisfaction, histopathologic results, and short-term morbidity
