LLETZ / Cone – Laser Surgery
At Grosvenor Gardens Healthcare, located in the prestigious areas of Belgravia and Dulwich, London, we offer advanced LLETZ and cone laser surgery to treat cervical abnormalities. These minimally invasive procedures are key options for women who have had abnormal cervical screening results, providing a targeted approach to remove precancerous cells and preserve cervical health.
Understanding LLETZ and Cone Laser Surgery
LLETZ, also known as Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP), and cone laser surgery are effective treatments for removing abnormal cervical tissue that may lead to cancer if left untreated. LLETZ uses a fine wire loop with an electric current to excise the affected tissue, while cone biopsy involves the removal of a cone-shaped piece of tissue from the cervix using a laser or a surgical scalpel.
Benefits of LLETZ and Cone Laser Surgery
- Early Detection: Regular HPV screening helps detect the presence of high-risk HPV types early before they cause serious health issues.
- Prevention of Cancers: HPV vaccination effectively prevents the majority of cervical, anal, and other genital cancers.
