[Treatment of intraepithelial cervical neoplasia with REP Radiosurgical Excision Procedure)].
Radiosurgical cervical excision has been performed in 59 patients affected by CIN of various stages. This non-traumatic method uses 3.8 MHz radio waves to cut and/or coagulate without postoperative pain and tissue destruction. The radiosurgical excision has been performed in local anesthesia by a loop electrode or microneedle according to the seat of the lesion. The therapy was "effective" in 98% of cases (58/59) whereas the "incomplete excision" of CIN was observed in 6.7% (4/59). Complications (postoperative and late bleeding) occurred in 3.2% of the patients (2/59). Therefore, the Radiosurgical Excision Procedure (REP) can be considered an easy technique in ambulatory surgery; this method is effective in the treatment of CIN with either therapeutic and economic advantages and guarantee the functional and anatomic integrity of the cervix.
