[Pregnancy and delivery outcomes after loop electrosurgical excision procedure of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) on pregnancy and delivery outcomes of patients with cervical epithelial neoplasia (CIN).


METHODS
The delivery data of 27 pregnant women who had LEEP from May 1995 to April 2002 were retrospectively collected and analysed.


RESULTS
The mean age of the 27 women was 30.3 years (range 23 approximately 40 years). Ten women underwent artificial abortion. One ectopic pregnancy and two spontaneous miscarriages occurred at 6 to 8 weeks of gestation. There were 14 term pregnancies, 9 of them via vaginal delivery and 5 via caesarean section. The birth weight of newborns ranged from 2905 to 4000 g. All of newborns had a high Apgar score. No asphyxia occurred.


CONCLUSIONS
LEEP is a safe and effective treatment for patients with CIN. It will not increase the risk of pregnancy and delivery of the patients.
