Objective: To evaluate the relationship between Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) margin status and subsequent cytology results to determine the significance of margin status as a predictor for recurrent cervical disease. Methods: A retrospective cohort of women who underwent LEEP for treatment of cervical dysplasia from 1995 to 2006 with subsequent follow-up to 2009 at a single academic institution. Data extracted consisted of information routinely collected during clinic visits including demographic information, LEEP histology results, and cytology results. Results: The analysis was limited to 144 women with documented LEEP margin status and subsequent cytologic follow-up. The women were predominantly white, non-Hispanic, with a mean age of 27 years (range 14 – 62 years). Of
