This atlas was designed to assist colposcopists in principles and practice of the Loop Electrosurgical Excisional Procedure (LEEP). The atlas may be read from start to finish but it is broken down into different sections so that a reader may go directly to the section of interest. Each section covers a different topic but some information may be repeated in more than one section.

Check our list of interesting colposcopy and medical WWW links and our colposcopy patient education materials.
