LEEP is a procedure for removing a type of abnormal tissue growth in the cervix called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). It uses a thin wire loop attached to an electrical unit. The cervix is the lower portion of the uterus that opens into the vagina. The uterus is the muscular organ at the top of the vagina. LEEP is an abbreviation for loop electrosurgical excision procedure. It is also referred to as large loop excision of the transformation zone, or LLETZ. Abnormal cells or tissue is most often discovered from a Pap test. The Pap test is a screening test done during a woman's pelvic exam. Several types of CIN can become cancer if not found and treated. Removal of the abnormal cells can help prevent cancer of the cervix.
