"Leep knife" is not actually a knife, why is it called "Leep knife"? In fact, the "Leep" is Loop Electrosurgical Exception Procedure, which means cervical circular resection. It was invented in the United States, and because LEEP is a surgical procedure, many people call it the "Leep knife". In fact, the Leep knife is a metal coil that cuts cervical tissue through the high-frequency current generated by the coil, achieving the goal of removing lesions.

The role of the Leep Knife

Leep knife has therapeutic and diagnostic effects!

CIN is a precancerous lesion of the cervix, although it is a benign lesion, it can further develop into cervical cancer! After treatment with the Leep knife, 

CIN can improve and its cancerous process can be blocked.

Meanwhile, the Leep Knife also has diagnostic function! When there are abnormalities in cervical screening but no lesions are found during colposcopy examination, 

or when there are clinically suspected cervical lesions and the relevant tests are negative, cervical "Leep surgery" can be performed to send surgical specimens 

for examination and determine if there are cervical lesions! Whether cervical cancer lesions are hidden within CIN lesions often requires Leep surgery to determine!

The therapeutic characteristics of the Leep knife

1. Easy to operate, without the need for anesthesia (for pain sensitive patients, short-term intravenous anesthesia or local anesthesia can be chosen);

2. Less intraoperative bleeding and faster postoperative wound healing;

3. Short surgical time: Compared to traditional surgical knives, the Leep knife has a shorter surgical time, only requiring 5-10 minutes;

4. Low cost: The process is convenient, the cost is low, and there is no need for long-term hospitalization. A simple "Leep knife" can also be completed in outpatient clinics;

5. Safer surgery: Compared with traditional surgical knife conization (often referred to as cold knife conization because it does not have thermal energy like the Leep knife), 

the Leep knife can better avoid complications such as bleeding and infection.
