Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of repeat loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) conization ill patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 3 and positive ectocervical margins. Method: A retrospective study of 56 women who Underwent repeat LEEP conization for CIN 3 and positive ectocervical margins. Results: Final diagnosis after repeat LEEP conization revealed 6 women (10.7%) with microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma (Stage IA1): 1 (1.8%) with CIN 1; 1 (1.8%) with CIN 2; 21 (37.5%) with CIN 3: and 27 (48.2%) with chronic cervicitis. Ectocervical or endocervical margins were negative after repeat LEEP conization in the majority of women, except lot 2 patients (3.6%) with CIN 3 and positive ectocervical margins. Recurrence rate for file median follow-up time of 2 years was 6.1% (3 patients). Conclusion: Repeat LEEP conization car) reveal undiagnosed microinvasive cervical carcinoma in women with positive ectocervical margins.
