It's more precice and a clearer cut with the knife, but has a slightly higher incidence of bleeding or future issues with pregnancies than leeps (but still is VERY rare and can be worked with--- somehting like 1 or 2 percent)

You will be under, which is better for the dr to get a precise cut, and they tend to take a bit more with the cone than the leep. Also used commonly for a positive ECC (dysplasia going up into the canal, or if its right near the opening and a leep might not get it) or the CIN3 is going deep enough that the leep may not get it.

It also does tend to be a bit more successful for advanced issues, being it's a bit more invasive, so its good in that way ..... just be VERY VERY careful for a month after, no bending, lifting, exercise, anything that would interfere with the healing.

Dont worry, its not a painful or serious surgery, just make sure you get an experienced gyn/oncologist (just a GYN usually hasnt done enough of these) and if you are planning to have kids in the future, let the dr know this so they can be sure to take the least amount out ...........
