RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate single-pass loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP-SP) versus LEEP with top hat (LEEP-TH) in terms of treatment failure defined as high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) cytology within 2 years' follow-up. METHODS: This single-institution cohort study used a prospectively collected cervical dysplasia database including all patients who underwent LEEP-SP or LEEP-TH for biopsy-proven cervical intraepithelial neoplasia between 2005 and 2019. RESULTS: Of 340 patients included, 178 underwent LEEP-SP and 162 LEEP-TH. The LEEP-TH patients were more likely to be older (mean age, 40.4 vs 36.5 years; p < .001) and have a positive preprocedure endocervical sampling (68.5% vs 11.8%; p < .001). Positive margins were found in 23 LEEP-SP (12.9%) and in 25 LEEP-TH (15.4%; p = .507). There was no significant difference in depth of excision between LEEP-SP (13.21 ± 23.19 mm) and LEEP-TH (17.37 ± 28.26 mm; p = .138). At 2 years, there was no difference in the rates of HSIL cytology (5.2% vs 6.3%; p = .698), any positive human papillomavirus test, or HSIL cytology (25% vs 15%; p = .284). The 57 patients undergoing repeat excision were more likely to be older (mean age, 40.95 vs 37.52 years; p = .023), have had a LEEP-TH (26.3% vs 73.7%; p < .001), and have initial cytologic HSIL (64.9% vs 35.0%; p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: In this single-institution study, there is no difference in the rate of recurrent HSIL in patients undergoing LEEP-SP versus LEEP-TH. A LEEP-TH may have limited additional benefit over a LEEP-SP in the treatment of cervical HSIL.

The focus of dialogue surrounding healthcare institutions is frequently economic in nature. The business climate is one of intense competition to secure market domination. As a result, hospitals are striving to integrate new services that attract physicians and patients. However, there are several noneconomic factors an organization must consider before undertaking such an endeavor. This paper will discuss the organizational theories of vision, leadership, job design, and team development in relationship to the development of a new cardiovascular recovery unit.
