OBJECTIVE: To compare the treatment outcomes of women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) who underwent immediate loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and those who had directed biopsies prior to subsequent LEEP.
METHODS: Women who were referred for HSIL to 2 centers in southeast Nigeria were examined via colposcopy. Those with positive colposcopic findings were randomized to receive either immediate LEEP (see-and-treat group) or directed biopsies (3-step group). Women with directed biopsy-confirmed results underwent follow-up LEEP. Overtreatment rate, cost, default rate, and cytology-treatment interval were compared between the 2 groups.
RESULTS: In total, 314 women were included in the study. The overtreatment rate was similar between the groups. Treatment cost and cytology-treatment interval were significantly higher in the 3-step group (P=0.0001). The default rate was significantly lower in the see-and-treat group (P=0.0001). Most (219 [69.7%]) participants preferred the see-and-treat approach.
CONCLUSION: Immediate see-and-treat LEEP for women with HSIL in southeast Nigeria is cheaper, less time-consuming, and associated with better patient compliance than the 3-step management procedure. Furthermore, it does not lead to significantly higher overtreatment. The immediate see-and-treat approach may be ideal for the management of women with HSIL in low-resource countries.
