conization, LLETZ, randomized controlled trial, colposcopy, binocular colposcopy, intraoperative colposcopy, videocolposcopy, loop excision
Brief summary
To assess the benefits of performing large Loop excision of the transformation Zone (LLETZ) using videocolposcopy compared to binocular colposcopy.
Interventions
DEVICELLETZ with videocolposcope
Loop procedure using a videocolposcope in order to see and remove the abnormal cervical tissue
DEVICELLETZ with binocular colposcope
Loop procedure using a binocular colposcope in order to see and remove the abnormal cervical tissue

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the resected cone mass | 10 minutes | the resected cone mass will be quantified by weighing the removed tissue with a precision scale located in the operating room |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Operation time | 20 minutes | the time from the beginning of the Operation (start of the electrosurgical method) until the end of the operation (the end of hemostatic interventions) will be measured in minutes |
| Operative complications | 14 days | Operative complications defined as necessity to intervene therapeutically up to 14 days postoperatively |
| number of fragments of the surgical specimen | 10 minutes | surgeons will count the number of the surgical specimen (1 vs. \>1) |
| The circumference of the surgical specimens | 2 Days after conization | The circumference of the surgical specimens will be measured in cm |
| the length of the surgical specimens | 2 Days after conization | The length of The surgical specimens will be measured in cm |
| Margin status | 2 Days after conization | Resection margin is judge as R0 if abnormal cells are not found in the margin of the biopsy or R1 if abnormal cells remain in the margin of the biopsy. The histopathological examination will be done by an Independent pathologist |
| handling of the device | 30 minutes | surgeons will score their preference regarding the surgical method using an 11-step visual analogue scale (VAS) for ,(ranging from 0 (,very easy') to 10 (,very difficult') |
| satisfaction with the device | 30 minutes | surgeons will score their preference regarding the surgical method using an 11-step visual analogue scale (VAS) for ,satisfaction with the device' (ranging from 0 (,very satisfied') to 10 (,absolutely not satisfied') |
| Time to complete intraoperative hemostasis | 120 seconds | the time until complete hemostasis as judged by the surgeon has been achieved, will be measured in seconds |
| Intraoperative blood loss | 5 hours | intraoperative blood loss will be measured using the difference in serum hemoglobin one day prior to surgery and within 5 hours postoperatively |
| the thickness of the surgical specimens | 2 Days after conization | The thickness of The surgical specimens will be measured in cm |
