Abstract
- Background: Large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ) is the preferred treatment modality among colposcopists for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. We report a unique case of cervical septum after LLETZ and the subsequent management.<br />Case: Large loop excision of the transformation zone was performed on a young woman for a severely dyskaryotic cervical smear and colposcopic impression of high-grade abnormality. At her 6-month follow-up, double cervical ostium was seen resulting from cervical septum formation. This was surgically divided to enable a single cervical ostium for future smear taking and follow-up.<br />Conclusions: This case report is to make clinicians aware of a rare complication such as double cervical ostium after LLETZ and its management.
