Presentation Title:

Comparison of punch biopsy and loop biopsy for the management of severe Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN)

Abstract

Objective: The study was undertaken for comparing the colposcopy directed punch versus loop excision biopsy technique in order to get the most précised sample for study as well as comparing the complications associated with them.

Materials and methods: The prospective clinical study was conducted on 50 women of age group 20-80 years. Women who were found to have a Reid colposcopic index of high grade disease, low grade disease or invasive disease recognized as the patients needed  biopsy. They were randomly devided to either the punch biopsy forceps group (PB group) or the round loop electrode group (LE group).

Result: The quality of tissue of the LE group was found significantly better than the tissue quality of PB group based on the size, site and tissue damaged measures. Both the groups  found to have same cytology report as well as colposcopic diagnosis and histology reports. Mild degree of bleeding has been reported as a frequent complication in LEEP and punch biopsy. The VAS pain score associated in each procedure was found to be 2.4 and 2.8 respectively in both groups  with no significant difference.

Conclusion : The present study  have concluded that the quality of tissue from the LEEP biopsy electrode was better than the punch biopsy forceps with no difference in the pain score, it could be  suggested that  use of the round loop electrode  in CDB provides  good quality tissue to evaluate the histology.
