About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Uterine Cervical Dysplasia focused on measuring conization, LLETZ, loop excision, randomized controlled trial, colposcopy, direct colposcopic vision, intraoperative colposcopy

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • histologically proven cervical dysplasia
  • colposcopy Prior to conization
  • informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • significant language barrier
  • a personal history of conization
  • pregnancy
  • the use of blood thinner
  • unwillingness to participate

Sites / Locations

  • Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Ruhr University Bochum

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

LLETZ with colposcopy

LLETZ without colposcopy

Arm Description

The LLETZ procedure will be performed under direct colposcopic vision

The LLETZ procedure will be performed without colposcopy

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

the resected cone mass
the resected cone mass will be quantified by weighing the removed tissue with a precision scale located in the operating room

Secondary Outcome Measures

Margin status
Resection margin is judge as "R0" if abnormal cells are not found in the margin of the biopsy or "R1" if abnormal cells remain in the margin of the biopsy. The histopathological examination will be done by an Independent pathologist
Operation time
the time from the beginning of the Operation (start of the electrosurgical method) until the end of the operation (the end of hemostatic interventions) will be measured in minutes
Operative complications
Operative complications defined as necessity to intervene therapeutically up to 14 days postoperatively
number of fragments of the surgical specimen
surgeons will count the number of the surgical specimen (1 vs. >1)
the dimensions of the surgical specimens
The circumference, length and thickness of The surgical specimens will be measured
handling of the device
surgeons will score their preference regarding the surgical method using an 11-step visual analogue scale (VAS) for ,(ranging from 0 (,very easy') to 10 (,very difficult')
satisfaction with the device
surgeons will score their preference regarding the surgical method using an 11-step visual analogue scale (VAS) for ,satisfaction with the device' (ranging from 0 (,very satisfied') to 10 (,absolutely not satisfied')
Time to complete intraoperative hemostasis
the time until complete hemostasis as judged by the surgeon has been achieved, will be measured in seconds
Intraoperative blood loss
intraoperative blood loss will be measured using the difference in serum hemoglobin one day prior to surgery and within 5 hours postoperatively
