Large Loop Excision of Transformation Zone Cone Versus Straight Wire Excision of Transformation Zone : Histopathological Analysis of Excision Margins
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating SWETZ and LLETZ cone for Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia. Completed, enrolled 164 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate if Straight Wire Excision of the Transformation Zone (SWETZ) is superior to (Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone) LLETZ cone in reducing the incomplete excision of disease.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Straight wire excision of transformation zone is an electrosurgical conization method, which uses a straight wire electrode as a knife to remove the dysplastic epithelium of the cervix.
LLETZ cone is a electrosurgical conization method, which is performed with a large loop electrode of 20 mm depth. The loop is applied to the cervix outside the lateral margin of the transformation zone and brought slowly to the controlateral transformation zone margin.
