Abstract
The indication for excisional management of high-grade intraepithelial lesions of the cervix is clearly established worldwide. However, low-grade lesions are managed in two different ways: follow-up with routine evaluation of the lesions, with expectation of complete remission, which is well documented in the literature, versus ablative treatment. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the results of the Colposcopy Clinic of the Santo Tomás Hospital by comparing patients managed with follow-up and those receiving ablative treatment. After reviewing 242 clinical charts, we observed no statistically significant difference between the two groups in remission, progression or persistence of the lesions at 6 and 12 months.
