LEEP knife surgery can effectively treat cervical erosion

LEEP knife surgery is currently a good method for treating cervical erosion and has been widely used in clinical practice.

1. The principle of LEEP knife

LEEP mainly uses LOOP metal wire to generate 3.8 MHz ultra-high frequency waves from the electrode tip. With the help of high-frequency radio knife, the moment it touches the cervical tissue, the impedance generated by itself absorbs the waves and generates high heat, so that the water in the cells forms a steam wave to achieve various cutting and hemostasis purposes, without affecting the pathological examination of the tissue at the edge of the incision. Unlike traditional electric knives, the heat energy converted by the radio frequency of high-frequency radio wave knives is generated inside the tissue. The sine wave generated by the radio frequency causes the water in the cells to oscillate and evaporate, causing the cells it touches to rupture and separate from the tissue. The radio frequency emitter itself does not generate heat.

2. Advantages of LEEP Knife

Compared with other surgical procedures, LEEP knife surgery for the treatment of cervical erosion has six advantages: it can achieve very precise surgical effects that traditional electric knives cannot; it can greatly reduce various body damages caused by traditional electric knives, such as tissue pulling, tissue carbonization, and damage to tissues around lesions; patients suffer less pain, and rarely have complications such as scars, bleeding, and infection after surgery; it avoids electric current passing through the body, reducing surgical risks; the electrode plates do not need to be coated with electrode paste, and will not cause burns to the patient; the operation time is relatively short, only 3 to 5 minutes, and the operation is simple, local anesthesia is sufficient, and the patient's cost is low.
