Background: Treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) using thermal coagulation has recently attracted interest among the medical community in view of the easily portable and light equipment, less treatment time, faster patient turnover, less discomfort, use of minimal amounts of electricity as consumable, less vaginal discharge following treatment and a similar efficacy in treatment of ectocervical CIN lesions as compared to cryotherapy. However, literature on its performance is scarce particularly from low-and middle-income settings. Here, we report the effectiveness, safety and acceptability of thermal coagulation in women treated for histologically proven ectocervical CIN.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
