To evaluate the influence of the type of contraception used and post-menopausal status on the involvement of excision margins with CIN after Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone (LLETZ), the authors reviewed a computerised database and the clinical files of 451 sequential women treated by LLETZ, for CIN diagnosed on cytology and colposcopy. There was a statistically significant association between both the use of Long Acting Injectable Progesterone (LAIP) and post menopausal status with histological report of incomplete excision of CIN on the endocervical excision margin. Therefore, the authors conclude that both progesterone-only containing contraception and menopause induced atrophy of the endocervical epithelium significantly increase the risk of involvement of the endocervical excision margin with CIN in the treatment by LLETZ. This parameter is of particular importance, as it is one of the known factors for recurrence.
