  • LEEP Loop Electrode Excisional Procedure

    A LEEP procedure is indicated once moderate to high grade dysplasia (abnormal cells) are confirmed after colposcopic examination.  The procedure is both diagnostic (helps to ensure abnormal cells diagnosed are not more worrisome than reported after colposcopic biopsies) and therapeutic (removes the abnormal cells preventing further growth).  A loop connected to an electrical generator is used to remove the area on the cervix where the abnormal cells were identified.  The Loop gets very hot and is only used to remove a very superficial layer of the cervical tissue/skin.  The procedure takes approximately 10 minutes.  You will be placed in the same position as you are during a pap smear, another colposcopy is typically performed prior to removing the cells to better identify the area of concern.  The procedure is typically performed in the office but may also be performed in the operating room.  You will go home the same day.  If being performed in the office, only local anesthetic injected into the cervix will be used.  You should abstain from placing anything in the vagina or intercourse for at least three days prior to the procedure and for up to four weeks after the procedure.  If you start your period prior to the procedure, it should be rescheduled.

  • Vestibulectomy

    Vestibulitis often is the cause for women who have chronic vaginal pain.  It is an inflammatory condition affecting the glands and skin just around the opening of the vagina.  Pain may be present all of the time, just with sitting, or during intercourse.  Some women with vestibulitis often complain of a constant vaginal burning and discomfort.  Many therapies have been found to be helpful in treating vestibuitis such as topical creams,  anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications, physical therapy, and anesthetics.  However some patients have no relief and may consider Vestibulectomy.  During a Vestibulectomy the skin surrounding the opening of the vagina and hymeneal tissue is removed.  A skin flap is pulled down from the vagina to replace the excised tissue.  The procedure is performed under anesthesia, however patients typically go home the same day.
