Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) uses alternating electrical current to remove abnormal cervical tissue, which provides a specimen for pathological review. Historically, physicians have used high-frequency current for lesion removal as early as the 1940s. Cryotherapy and laser vaporization, destroy tissue, where LEEP confers an advantage by providing tissue for histopathological review. The procedure can be done in the office and does not require general anesthesia.
