Comparing Two Techniques of Haemostasis After Cervical Conization
Comparing Two Techniques of Haemostasis After Cervical Conization
The LEEP conization is commonly used for cervical pathologies treatment. The techniques for
 hemostasis usually used are: cautery, Monsel's solution and vaginal pack. Actually, there is
 no consensus about the best technique and there is not much information that validates the
 use of some of that. To compare the use or not of vaginal pack as methods of hemostasis after
 LEEP conization for management of cervical lesions.
A randomized clinical trial was conducted at Gynecology Oncology Department/Barretos Cancer
 Hospital for patients with indication of LEEP conization. After local IRB approval, patients
 were allocated in two arms (50 patients each): without vaginal pack (group 1 - GP1) and with
 vaginal pack (group 2 - GP2). The Monsel's solution was used in all patients. Intraoperative
 and postoperative outcomes will be evaluated: operative time, intraoperative and
 postoperative bleeding, hormonal status, age, parity and cone specimens' characteristics as
 well as short-term outcome were recorded and compared using Chi-square test, Fisher exact
 test and t-test where appropriate.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Indication of cervical conization.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  We excluded patients who were not treated by our department physicians or if the
 patient did not return for follow-up.
