- Cervical CancerIf you have an abnormal cervical cancer screening result, your healthcare provider may suggest a Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) as part of the evaluation and treatment.

Procedures that only a few years ago required major incisions, deep sedation and extended convalescence now can be done through closed techniques, with conscious sedation, and with minimal recovery time. As medical innovation continues to advance, more and more procedures will be suitable for the ASC setting.
