Cervical Excision Procedures: Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure and Cold Knife Cone

Simulation

Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure Simulation

This module presents a clinical simulation for training residents to describe the indications and techniques of LEEP, perform LEEP cervical excision procedures, and explain the failure rates and risk factors for recurrence of disease. The module includes information on indications, contraindications, post procedure care, and possible complications.

Cold Knife Cone Simulation

This module presents a clinical simulation for training residents to describe the indications and techniques of CKC, perform CKC cervical excision procedures, and explain the failure rates and risk factors for recurrence of disease. The module includes information on indications, contraindications, post procedure care, and possible complications.
