A speculum is then used to gain access to the cervix. If general anaesthesia is used, it is administered before the speculum is inserted. After anaesthesia, an electric loop is inserted to cut out a 1.5 cm high cone-shaped piece of the cervix. This provides the material for histopathological examination. If there is abnormal tissue within the cervix, an attempt is made to remove it using the electric loop. Low voltage current is delivered via a thin wire inserted into the vagina. The LEEP procedure is routinely performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia. In this case, the Patient may feel discomfort connected with slight pain. This occurs when the cervix is injected with a 1-2% lignocaine solution. Cervical electroconisation can also be performed in the operating theatre under general anaesthesia.
