LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) is a surgical technique that utilizes high-frequency radio waves. It is primarily employed for treating cervical conditions, such as cervical polyps. This procedure offers precise surgical outcomes with minimal pain and small wound surfaces, enabling rapid postoperative recovery. During surgery, the lesion can be completely excised in a single session without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
