| Popis: | ObjectiveTo compare two electrosurgical techniques, straight-wire excision of transformation zone (SWETZ) with large loop excision of transformation zone, as a cone procedure (LLETZ-cone), for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), when disease is present at the cervical canal. DesignRandomised controlled trial. SettingTwo public hospitals, one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and one in Dublin, Ireland. PopulationOne hundred and three women with indication to treat CIN located at cervical canal. MethodsWomen were randomised to receive LLETZ-cone or SWETZ. OutcomesMain outcome was the incidence of complete excision of disease at endocervical margin of the surgical specimen. Secondary outcomes were complete excision at ectocervical and stromal margins, time to complete the procedure, specimen fragmentation, blood loss and death after 1 year. ResultsFifty-two women were allocated to LLETZ-cone and 51 to SWETZ. Ten women were lost for main outcome because of damaged specimens. Forty-two women in the LLETZ-cone group had free endocervical margin versus 43 women in the SWETZ group (relative risk 1.04, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.87–1.25;P=0.64). For secondary outcomes related to margins, we observed a relative risk of 1.15 (95% CI 0.95–1.39; P=0.15) for ectocervical free margin. For free stromal margin, the relative risk was 1.07 (95% CI 0.89–1.29;P=0.47). No death was observed. ConclusionsThis study was inconclusive; SWETZ and LLETZ-cone were equally effective to treat endocervical disease, with no difference in protecting against margin involvement. Higher, but not severe, blood loss and longer surgical time were observed in the SWETZ group. |
